zero brake pad clearance?, advice appreciated Options

[boiledcabbage]

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Any suggestions on what to do? the RR outboard pads have zero clearance to the disc and I can't seem to make the outboard adjuster do anything - brakes seem to work fine (other than the sticking pads) - is it likely a seized piston? if so what are my options?

have already considered big hammer

help!

Inner Adjusters:
Clockwise = Moves the piston "Out" toward the rotor
Counter Clockwise = In

Outer Adjusters:
Clockwise = In
Counter Clockwise = Moves the piston "Out" toward the rotor

The adjuster screws are both standard thread, it's just that the inner ones work off a "gear" making the action "reverse."

There's also a rebuild thread right here in our "Classics" threads or in my "Caliper Resource Thread" (link below) as well. If you tackle the rebuild, I do "NOT" recommend pulling the handbrake arm as suggested in the PP article. 99.9% of the time it is "NOT" necessary and the kit to reinstall it properly is $50.00 (which is roughly twice the price of a good core if you do happen to have a leak there). Not panning on the PP thread "at all", it's excellent, I just don't think the economics add up for such a procedure (removing the handbrake armature) and I personally wouldn't take the arm off to simply put it back in with old seals.
