Small block of wood with folded rag over it to catch piston, then compressed air in bleeder.
Keep every thing covered so NO brake fluid flies out. |

I had one stuck badly. Try a C-clamp to push it in first. I reconnected it to the brake line and clamp the other piston. Insert a rag to cushion the piston pop. Use the pedal pressure to free it.

Thanks for all the replies. Compressed air, PB blaster and a block of wood did the trick.
