What do I need to do? Hose it down with GT85 and hit with hammer?

take out brake pads, squeeze lever carefully to bring out the piston a bit, then dose it with mineral oil (using an earbuds helped) around the piston, use a flat headed screwdriver to hold on the piston so the other can come out more.

repeat on both piston, when finish, push piston back in, then clean it as much as you can with Isopropyl alcohol.

Checked - took wheel out and flipped it - both pistons appear to move fine. Refitted wheel and recentered pads. Brakes are still 'on' so the front wheel drags a bit. Maybe it's actually sticking more on the way back and not seating properly?
