Footpump or 12v tyre pump, stick one of the adaptors up the flexi hose and get some air into it........... have caliper wrapped in cloth as the piston comes out with a bang.

As for the brakes on a 1.1.......crap at the best of times, had to stand on mine to get it to stop. Replace with VT* vented disks and calipers and you'll see a noticable difference.
