Default 4pot caliper piston seized Need Help.

Hi Guys, i need some much requested help, im in process of rebuilding my 4pot calipers for my sti 1999 version 6 and the passengers side was easy and i had all the pistons out in about 15 mins but the drivers side i taken all out but one.

That one piston is a *itch to get out and it has no movement, tried two screwdrivers and wd40 and it just wont budge.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Put the caliper back onto the car , and use the brake pedal to push the pistons out , you will have to fit something in where the disc would usually be to stop any loose pistons popping out , that will get them all out , remove the caliper , and the pistons should come out the rest of the way fairly easy
