A guaranteed method of removing stuck pistons from calipers goes like this:

Braze a grease nipple into an old brake line fitting.   Screw the fitting 
into the caliper and apply grease with a gun.   Grease cannot be compressed 
and the piston(s) will come creeping out.   Secure the first out with a clamp 
or block of wood until the second emerges.   Messy but very effective.
