Take the wheels off, take the brake pads out and compress the caliper pistons into the calipers. Put pads back on and put the caliper back into the down position (but don't tighten the calipers) Press the pedal a couple of times and repeat.

Don't push the brake pedal without the pads in place and the caliper back down against the rotor, you'll pop the piston out of the caliper.

This should get this free wheeling again. If that fails to work, new calipers.

Does anyone else picture the movie Ferris Buellers Day Off where Cameron puts his dads Ferrari on a jack stand in reverse to make the odometer go in reverse and ends up sending the car out of the garage into the woods below?
