take the bleeder screw or hose connection off, find someone with an aircompresser,
shoot compressed air in it, the piston should pop out.  If it doesn't at first, tap gently
for a bit, air again, that doesn't do it heat the caliper with a propane torch a bit, air again.

Look on ebay, some Chinese guy is putting up new replacements for a real good price.
