Give it some hammer, should free off, the pistons might want taking out and cleaning up tho, depending on the age of the car.........could help.

My cars been stood for 8 weeks on the drive, checked every week or so by my dad - not fired up but I took all the necessary precautions knowing it was gonna be left

came abck today and put everything back together - battery, spot opf oil, prewarmed sparkies - everything you're supposed to but the drivers side front wheel is jammed - I'm assuming its the brake disk/pads welded together

whats the best way of releasing them - other than a rebuild which is whats happening tomorrow otherwise?

I dont mind doing the work if I have to - but its foOKin freezin - just wondered if there were any quick methods

Plus is it worth putting new pads on? ( they're new as of May)
