That's a good result Dave, job well done.

In desperate circumstances when there's no compressor to hand or if the pistons are stuck really tight, it's also possible to pop them out with a grease gun, connected to the bleed nipple...
it's messy, and you need to flush out the caliper, but it does work.

Cheers!
