Been there, done that. This is not the answer you want to hear, but: You need to rebuild or replace the calipers. It is not that difficult. I replaced my wife's 85 calibers for around $50 each from Checker Auto. A couple years later I replaced my 1986 calipers for $35 each. Turn the rotors and put in new pads and you will like the results.
