[Healeys] Squeak at speed? - BRAKE PADS -

[David Nock]

Do not use compressed air you will spray brake fluid all over the place.

The piston that is frozen is the pad that is not worn down. Remove  
the thickest pad and then go in the car and put your foot on the  
brake pedal. This will force the piston out, Then you can try and  
push the piston back in and install the pad. This may work but the  
caliper will probably start leaking of stick again.

The only fix is to pull the caliper and rebuild correctly
