I have 1970 XKE 2+2 coup. I have taken off my front brakes and want to replace the dust covers and cylinder brake seals. I have forgotten how to get the 3 brake cylinders out of their homes. Does any one know?
Your assistance is appreciated.

If you mean the removal of the caliper pistons, one method is to use air pressure into the opened bleeder - holding the pistons progressively until they can all be removed by hand. Another method uses the brake pedal pressure with the calipers still attached - this is messy and requires an assistant. Either way, be careful! The pistons can come out with some force.
