Got an air compressor? I rebuilt my 88's brakes this last winter and I used air to force the pistons from the bores. When it was down to just one being stuck...things got interesting- but with some penetrant and about 100 PSI and the other pistons clamped inplace it finally came out.
I'll never buy a caliper again after realizing how easy they are to rebuild. Only about $8 per kit available at almost all parts stores.
Watch your fingers when doing this...broken finger tips hurt!
