Funn F2 rear brake jammed on

Hi,
I recently acquired an orange G2 with Funn F2 brakes. I wouldn't have chosen those brakes but the bike was free and is only a spare, so what can you do! The only mechanical problem with the bike is the rear brake which was jammed on.
To investigate I obviously removed the rear wheel, at which the calipers closed up to the extent that its now very hard (I managed but only just) to get the wheel back on. The calipers themselves can be spread open but as soon as you remove the tool they close up again.
I've searched everywhere ut can't find any manuals.
I cant really see any adjustment on the brakes at the caliper or lever end, any ideas at all????
Thanks,
Simon,

So if you push the pistons/pads as far in as they can go, they automatcially spring back (both)?0

Yup, If I lever them apart they move back together again.. .fairly slowly but not slowly enough that I can get the rotor back in easily.0

Try removing the reservoir cap or opening the bleed nipple before pushing back (be careful to collect the fluid with a rag!). Then I'd rebleed.0

Great its loosened a bit now. I dont have a bleed kit so I guess I'll be taking it to the LBS at the next opportunity. It's rideable for now anyway, so thanks very much!0

It may be fine without a bleed, but see how you get on!0
