Definitely service it first.

Unbolt the caliper, remove the pads and place a piece of wood between the pistons wide enough to prevent them coming out of the caliper, then gently press on the pedal until both pistons are protruding.

Give them a squirt with something like WD40 or proper brake cleaner, and a scrub with a toothbrush.

To get them back in the caliper, twist the piece of wood as far as it goes, then either use a G clamp, or some other ingeneous method using a pair of spanners. Be careful not to force them - if they don't slip in easily then you have probably twisted them.
