WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Apply moderate air pressure in short bursts to prevent an uncontrolled release of the piston.

Place a piece of wood in the caliper. Remove the piston by applying moderate air pressure through the bleeder screw port.
