I've succeeded in getting the screw-in cap off by way of penetrant and the judicious application of heat, and pried the piston behind it out.
1. What is the trick to getting the inner piston out? Everything was rusted, crusted and froze solid. It's soaking in PB Blaster right now.
2. Are the pistons hard-chromed or otherwise plated? Seems to be a bit of rust damage to the outer surface that was behind the pad but beyind the seal. Can I take this out with some fine emery cloth or should they be scrapped? I've noticed the steel sleeve in the bore and I think I can clean that up sufficiently.
