   If you take the caliper off the car if it aint already off then get a g-clamp use this one it push it in then slide it out a couple of times this usually frees them up if they get a bit stuck mate just be carefull not to go over the top or you will break something lol!!!

   I cant mate as i would have tried this as there as far back as they can go so need to be pulled out an there nothing to grip them.
   
   The pistons that are stuck looks like the seal are fucked too

   i once had a simular thing at work, the caliper piston was all the way in and seised. i used a tool that we had which was like a drill head but worked in the oposite way when you turn it it expands rather then shrinks so i put it into the piston hole and expanded it till it was gripping the piston inner walls and then tapped the caliper with a hyde hammer which eventually free'd it. another way you could to it is to tac weld a peice of metal into the inner part of the piston then stick the metal in a vice and get to work at pulling it out

   or another thing you can try is to make an adapter to fit the caliper thread to an airline then crank some pressure up and it might push it out, if not take it to around 100psi or so then tap the piston and around the piston to see if that helps dislodge it
