How do free a seized caliper piston ?
Discussion
Sierra rears need a windy tool. One spins clockwise and the other anti clock wise to push them in, but I can't remember which side is which.
If you're lucky, a pair of needle nose pliers might get them moving, otherwise you'll need the tool. Can get universal ones quite cheap, or a full kit that will do many different types, but they cost more.

(kind of) on topic:
When unseizing calipers, re lubricate & Re assemble using Silicon grease or Copperslip?.
If it's going to be in contact with any of the rubber parts use only brake fluid or red rubber grease. Petroleum-based products (including some brake cleaners!) can damage seals.When unseizing calipers, re lubricate & Re assemble using Silicon grease or Copperslip?.
