One More - Rear Brake Caliper Repair?
I looked , but again did not see much( I limit my searches to vintage forum) can these calipers be rebuilt or better yet "freed up" ?
Thanks again, Just think if you were not answering questions from the Panda, what would you be doing>>>>

You got a vise in the barn? Maybe can press em loose. After scrubbin em down and then reattach em so you can work em with pedal and old thin pads loosely installed so the pistons dont pop out.
And then when they start movin, pry em and work em back'n forth with prybar and pedal. Only hazard being you might damage the rotors when prying em back. Naturally gotta flush the entire system with fresh DOT4 fluid. But best of all is driving the car, heat it up and slam on the brakes a few times - take it into panic mode fishtailing around corners if you can.

Starting is optional, stopping is mandatory.
I have had very good experiences with www.********.com. They sell rebuilt calipers for only a little more than the kit.
