No forum for Wrenching? Help with SRAM HydroR piston won't come out

[sonomasp]

According to SRAM, I should be able to connect a syringe to the lever to force the master piston out. Not budging. Tried Air compressor.
So I'm wondering, do I need to have the brake caliper installed to the lever to make this work? Crossed my mind that no fluid is coming out of the brake hose when I try pushing the syringe. Or it's so stuck that nothing is moving.
Any Ideas ??

Hey there! It sounds like you're dealing with a stubborn brake lever. When trying to force the master piston out, it might help to have the brake caliper installed to ensure proper fluid movement. If no fluid is coming out of the hose, there might be a clog or it could just be really stuck. Have you tried using some lubricant to see if that helps? If all else fails, it might be worth reaching out to SRAM or a professional mechanic for some expert advice. Good luck!
