hello all,had my back wheels off today to adjust handbake so i thought i would have a bit of a clean up...anyway, as i took the pads out the inside one had decided to come apart so got a set of new ones and handbrake shoes cos sure enough the friction material had decided i wasnt friends with the backing material any more(suprise suprise)..all well and good but when i tried to squeeze back the outer piston it was jammed solid. tried to free it using the brake pedal but to no avail:parhmph:...getting to the point....anybody got any wise advice on how best to free the swine up? failing that anybody wanting shot of a rear caliper or two?,cheers.

Never heard o one that bad before,it's obvously an ex-caliper (no play on words intended!) Flea bay might be the answer..........Certainly wouldn't waste anymore expletives on it,:wallbash:
