Having a little problem with my clarks hydraulic brakes. I can't seem to push the pistons back to the original position. I've tried using a screwdriver to lever them back with no luck. They also look slightly wonky. Any advice on what I could do?

let some fluid out, sounds like they might be overfilled

If they look wonky, then you've probably got them cocked in the bore. If you can get a screwdriver right the way through the caliper body, you can apply pressure on both edges of the piston, and hopefully winkle it back into it's correct position, they're a snug fit and need to be pushed in straight otherwise they'll jam like yours.
