Whoa, I shouldn't post when I'm half asleep.
Take out the pads and jamb shims in between the rotor and one piston. Put shims loosely on the other side. I give it about 1/8" inch of space. Pump the brake pedal until the piston comes out tight against the shims. Loosen the shims on the other side. Pump the pedal. Keep going until both pistons are about to fall out. They should be easy to remove the rest of the way.
