stuck calliper pistons (kinda) any ideas on how to fix this? 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be chris with (2) '86 240 wagons on  Wed Mar 30 05:33 CST 2005 [RELATED]

i've been fixing up my old '84 245 for my brother to drive recently and have been doing some brake work. i got most of the way done but was stopped by the inner side pistons on the passenger side calliper being stuck. this car had been sitting about 3 months so i unbolted it and got in and jammed on the pedal to pop the pistons out...they came out pretty far but then i had a heck of a time getting them to slide back as far as i did... now i'm trying to put the new pads in and the pistons still arent back far enough to slide them in....any advice on how to get these moving correctly? thanks in advance!
