I gave it a whirl myself - the left side I managed to free up but they are still reluctant to move but they do move.
On the right side they move freely but the problem I have is that I can't get them to stay down. So I put the new brake pads in, but the pistons force them together so I can't put the calliper back on the disc.
Any ideas?
What do you mean you can't get them to stay down? Do you mean they come out on their own when you push them back? If so then take off the brake fluid reservoir lid before you push them back, that will let the excess air out ? just make sure to out it back on before squeezing the lever again haha
