Thats bad news if you carnt get hold of some you could strip them down and push the pots out then clean them with wire wool obviously if water has been getting in there, there will be pitting on the pot but should free them up for the time being

Are you positive it's not the handbrake being stuck ? They are inside the rotor drum and the brake shoes are proned to sticking

Hi
I had a stuck N/S front brake caliper on my P2 the other week, thankfully I had the RAC out as I have 'At Home' cover, he came out and got the caliper working again until I had it replaced. It's a pain in the neck isn't it!
The RAC man took the caliper apart, used about half a bottle of penetrating fluid and eventually managed to shift it. Then he used some emery paper, cleaned up the metal rods, a few sprays of grease and then put it back together. Looked like a right fiddle though...
Regards
James
