Surely hammering on a socket will work as a temp fix until the bank holiday is done?
Or am I missing something?
You can put it back the same way, not ideal but needs must.

Yes that's what you said, not in invisible mode. I thought I had quoted your post too.

Never mind that , did you make the deadline?
mole grips should shift the pin with enough penetrating fluid,does fluid in res splash up when pedals pumped looking in through cap
It'll take a pump or two before the pads sat in the right position but otherwise no you shouldn't need to bleed.
Did you have an issue before changing the pads?
diagnostics wont help with your issue of pedal,if res doesnt splash you may well just need to bleed systemTried mole grips. It's solid. Going to keep soaking it for a few days to see if it can shift, but I don't think it'll go. Oil doesn't splash, it doesn't move up or down, beginning to think cylinder might have popped a seal.
No issue before, other than squeaky pad result of seized guide pin. Pumped pedal loads, it's goes hard after 3 or 4 pumps. But then 10 secs later you can push it straight down to the floor.
Think I might have to get the nanocom plugged in to see what that's saying.

it probably has but old fashioned bleeding is all it needs, a poor piston seal can allow air in when piston is pushed backI'm hoping that's the case, which is weird, change hundreds of brake pads, never had to bleed the system after.
Looks like my nanocom has got some bleed functions on it
