opne the bleeder valve and try to work one out. once you have one out, close the valve and have someone press the brake pedal to break the piston lose. be careful not to let it pop out.
once that one if free, put that pad back in and do the other piston.
i have a set of large pliers i use to press the pistons bck in.

at the least you will have to do some rebuilding of the calipers. inspect the pistons and calipers for pitting. if pitted, replace.

i spent HOURS on a friends volvo when his calipers where frozen. should have taken 30minutes to do. the calipers were shot but with extreme warning, i got it going.


this is why i think every so often you sould really stand on th brakes several times. this keeps both pistons moving. the people that are very soft on their brakes are just asking for a lot of $$ when it does come time to replace pads. one piston will startt to do all the work when one stops working from corrosion.
