whip the calpiper off
drain the fliud
block of wood in the middle
compressed air in to push the pistons out.
If that fails, try bashing them free with a drift of some sort (the block of wood and a hammer). Then if your def re-fitting new pistons (good idea if seized) use a large flat head screwdriver in the piston lip to lever them up.
rebuild the calipers with new pistons, o rings and seals  using plenty of grease
