Is there an online guide with pics or is it just a case of unscrew everything and then put it all back together?
I assume this is the best course of action for a non-moving piston.
Also since the non moving piston is on the side without cap access how do I get it out?! Holding the moving side back with an allen key and pressing the lever it still refuses to move. It was a very muddy ride.
Could I soak the whole caliper in brake fluid? Or would this eat the anodising off?

Great guide, thanks.

Do your utmost to get the non moving piston moving before you dismantle the system - its far easier. Hold the moving piston in and pump the lever - I use a couple of cone spanners that fit across the middle of the calliper where the disc would run - they catch on the edges of the slot in the calliper so remain in the middle - pad in the moving side and no pad in the non moving side
I agree with TandemJeremy on this...
Just fitted and bled some Mono M4s (gold caps) and took the chance to pump the pistons almost out, and give them a clean up with ear-buds and DOT fluid.
Gets rid of any crap, re-"lubes" the seals and stop them sticking...
Mmmm slidey slidey pistons : )
