Hi Jonathan,
I just went through this last month.
See http://www.ohms.com/spitfire/brakes.shtml for complete details. If you
can't budge it with compressed air, pumping grease into the caliper will do
the trick -- but will require cleanup afterwards. That's the route I had to
take -- and it worked great.
Best wishes,
