Re: stuck brake caliper

["Rob Andrews" <randrews@austin.rr.com>]

Try just SLOWLY pressing the brake pedal and get the piston to come out a
little bit.  Have a friend help watch other wise you will push this piston
out of the caliper.  That should free it up if stuck, and then you should be
able to get it back in.

Later!
