They are dual piston ATE calipers, probably exactly the same as the
Porsche (and anything else European).
Very easy.
GENTLE use of compressed air works, but I usually just free the stuck
piston up with the brake pedal (remove that pad only, it will pop
loose) then use two screwdrivers or two
is it a big deal rebuilding them or should I go ahead
and replace them?
They rebuild just fine. I use a grease gun filled with
water to pump out the pucks. (The threads are the same.)
