While discussing how to remove the piston from a brake caliper: Technician A says that the dust boot should be removed, then a large dull screw-driver should be inserted into the piston groove to pry the piston out. Technician B says that air pressure should be injected into the bleeder screw’s bore to force the piston out of the caliper. Who is correct?
