Squirt liberal amounts of PB-Blaster on pistons to clean off corrosion. Push them all way in. Then squeeze lever again to gradually push them out. Might need to go in & out several times.

I use C-clamp between pistons to limit travel of one moving out faster so 2nd one can catch up. Then loosen C-clamp and repeat.
