Hi Jeff
I don't know if you have tried this yet? If you have not split the calliper
(not a good idea anyhow)
put the other piston back in the calliper and connect to a master cylinder
put a brake pad in the
calliper and jam it on the side nearest the free piston (use metal not wood)
bleed the calliper
then use the hyraulic pressure to force the piston out, If this won't move
it get a pre owned
calliper and use this one as a paperweight.
