I supposed if the pistons are truely stuck that would be a problem but I don't 
think that's likely.  Yes, the quick piston cleaning does require you to remove 
the caliper, and use something like a paint stirrer stick in between the pads 
when pushing the pistons out or you can push 'em too far out and have to 
reassemble.

But this all requires that the brakes are functional, are you saying you get 
nothing when pumping the brake lever?  I'd go over the bleeding/flushing process 
again if that's the case.
