Anyone know how to remove the pistons out of these calipers with out air tools?

you need to rebuild the whole caliper? i dont think it's too doable without air tools unless you're trying to compress it to put it back into the car

I bought a set of calipers that were painted really poorly and so I need to have the pistons pulled so I can strip the paint and clean the parts. I'll take them to someone and have them pop them out...hopefully they'll do it.

howd you do it? did you shoot in compressed air into the brake fluid entry?

No...basically just remove the rubber seals with a flat head and then you can decompress the pistons by hand with some serious strength by placing a flat head (with rubber on the end so you dont scratch the piston) in the little lip that it has and push outward. You'll have to wiggle it and as I said use mega strength but they will come loose. I have yet to rebuild them cause my seals arrive tomorrow from sewell but I'm sure it won't be too hard.
