Re-install the inside piston, clamp it so it won't move then apply hydraulic
pressure (with the brake pedal) to get the stuck one moving. Don't push the
second piston all the way out - just get it moving. Once it is about 3/4 of
the way out remove the clamp holding piston #1 in place and get that one
3/4's of the way out (clamping piston #2 if needed). At that point you
should be able to remove them by hand.
If the piston is well & truly stuck you can use a grease gun to apply lots
of pressure. You'll need lots of solvent to flush out the grease however...

Subject: [alfa] Stuck caliper brake piston
For the rear brakes on a '77 Spider I did the old remove the pads, then
pump on the brake until the stuck pistons came out.
It worked fine for the inside piston, but then how do you get the other
one out?
