you can get those Brake piston tools http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/produc...=SRC-brake (ive seen them cheaper than this one, seen them for about £25ish)
i think most peoples worries/problems are they don't know how to far to pump the piston out before it pops out. i know people on here have asked for the piston sizes before to try and combat this problem.
I think if your going to clean your brakes a lot then buying a tool like the one listed above will be worth it.
