I removed disc brake caliper tonight on a PX200E, pumped brakes and only one piston pushed out. I take it the other piston is seized.
Anyone know how to unseize the other piston and how do I push the working piston back in so I can fit new brake pads.
It's just one setback after another with this scooter, my head is down right now. At least before this the front brake still worked, not anymore.....

Are you sure it has seized? I wouldnt be.
Put the old pads back in and with a big flat screw driver work your way to push the pistons in.

using the pad and a thin pice of wood on the other side, try a g-clamp and wind it back in, then slowly slacken off the clamp and pump them back out to see if both come out, the one you say is seized should push out if the other has no space to move any further.

Thanks for the heads up people. Was feeling a bit negative yesterday. Managed to sort it out with a g clamp. Unstuck the piston, cleaned them both up and stuck in a new set of pads. All done..
