Unsticking bound brakes

[Guybrush]

I normally just drive the car and hit the brakes a few times and hey presto.
Unfortunately the cars been sat for a little too long for that... What's the best way of fixing em ?

If its an mot your going for, chances are itll need new discs and pads, if not then i;d take the pads out they;ll probably be pretty tight, take the calliper carriers off clean them up grease pads up and check the pistons are all free, remembering that the rears will need winding not just pushing back, be carefull with the dust seals when doing this.

Yep, mot will be the aim. I've got new pads and discs knocking around, but will need some bearings for the rear. What sort of grease?

little smear of copper grease where the pads rest on the calliper carriers.
