Hi dee8short,

When the front brake caliper pistons are stuck and difficult to move, they should be serviced or replaced.

Just pushing it back would cause the brakes to wear out prematurely and cause problems to the rotors.

Pump the pedal a little with 1 pc of pads removed to get the piston moving and lift up the dust cover to see if it is rusted inside. If the dust cover is torn, it should be replaced after sevicing or replacement of the piston.
