I want to rebuild my front brake caliper. I have purchased the seal and dust proof gasket. I have removed the front drivers side caliper. How do I remove the cylinder? I tried a small portable compressor but can not get a good seal to build enough air pressue. Thanks

You are on the right track, I use a rubber tipped blow gun that does not have the OSHA approved relief holes from my compressor and BE CAREFUL! The piston can come out with deadly force, wrap it in some rags when you puff the air in there. Follow the enclosed instructions for reassembly that came with your rebuild kit.
