Sorry don't know enough to help but it may help if you give a bit more information about what car you have.

I'm assuming 944? I believe there are a fair few different brakes used on the different models/years of 944 too.

If this early 944 with single pot callipers then the piton isn't retracted enough & is possibly partially seized. You may need to remove the calliper to get the piston right back & the slide retracted as well.

I've shaved them off in the past, either rubbing on coarse sand paper or on the grinder, be careful the latter can be B dangerous :roll:
