[Closed] Help...Brake pad issue

I've just replaced the pads and now it seems that when I pull the brake, only one of the pads is moving. So under breaking it looks like the piston is pushing the disc from one side into the static pad on the other side, rather than both pads squeezing at the same time. I presume it's something like a stuck piston but any ideas for what I can do to resolve it. Thanks! PS Avid juicy 5s BTW

A stuck pistons means an overhaul of th caliper which is a fairly easy job on most brakes but I've never done juicy before. Are you capable mechanically? If so then you have two options 1. Take it all apart, replace the seal and re bleed the brakes or 2. Just clean the seal up with some silicone spray and put it back together. I tend to go for second option on my hopes.
