I have a problem with my brakes. My half shaft broke and so I took the caliper off the rotor and my little sister got in it one day and while the caliper was off she pushed the brake pedal a buch of times. So now my brakes are pushed against each other and I cant get them apart. How do I get them apart?

You will probably have to remove the hydraulic line and see if you can push the piston back by hand.

Yes, you will need to release the pressure before you can force them apart. After the pressure is relieved, it should be relatively easy to do. Be sure to bleed the brakes after everything is back together.
