I am having some difficulty removing the pistons from the front and rear calipers. Is there a special trick with removing them from the caliper body?

The Helm's manual doesn't say but does provide an exploded picture.

Thanks in advance.

 

Not usually removed.. calipers are rarely rebuilt unless they are stripped down for finishing. The fronts come out easiest with compressed air pushing behind them; the rear ones just unscrew out.

 

That is the reason why I am doing it.

Thanks for the help.

 

The fronts are easy , as Chris said , compressed air in brake line fitting ( put rag under to catch piston) . Rear require special snap ring pliers , you can get pliers from Honda . ( snap ring is deep inside caliper) There is a replacement seal , where E Brake connects to rear of caliper . You need to remove snap ring from inside caliper to dissemble.
