I have a stuck piston on front caliper of the Norge, 4 pot. I used my usual method to pop the piston out - compressed air. The small piston on both sides came out easily but bigger piston both sides won't pop.
Is it worth giving it a smack back in to loosen ? Can replacement piston be obtained these days ?

Push the small piston back and use a spacer to stop it moving.
