Brake piston is stuck
One of the pistons on my front brake caliper is stuck, so i had a heck of a time getting the old pad out and its impossible to get a new one in. Is there a way to fix this, or do i need a new caliper?
Thanks,
Greg

I have a c clamp but cant really get to it with the rotor in the way. I guess i'll have to take the caliper off?
also, will it be ok, or is it just going to freeze up again if i get it loose with a c clamp?
