how do you remove the 4 pistons from a z32 caliper?

iu have read this tutorial (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showpost.php...72&postcount=2 ) but it says to use an air compressor, and to blow it into the brake fluid intake channel. and they should pop out.

i dont have access to an air compressor, and if i do, def not for that use.
theres got to be another way.
the reason im trying to do this is to rebuild the seals around all the pistons. and make sure theyre even moving. i got my calipers off a parts car sitting in someones backyard. also should i paint my calipers b4 or after i rebuild? i'm thinking b4, and i could always touch up if i mess anything up while rebuilding.
