You'll need a large screwdriver and sortof pry the pad/disk apart. Do this at all four pistons. Make sure your fluid resevoir doesn't overflow when you do this. If you can't get them to move, try cracking a bleeder at the same time that you pry. If it hasn't moved at this point, it is probably seized. Peter Parker '66 Square; Phillip Portland, OR
