Front Calipers not opening HELP!!!!!

We have just bought an Atomik RS125 and are having problems putting it together. The front calipers closed after I pumped the front brake a couple of time and now won't open and we can't slip the front wheel and disc in. Can anyone help??

Silly boy, but you are not the first person to do this. Just gently lever them apart with a screwdriver.

The screwdriver doesn't need to be jammed between the pad material. The metal backing can be used to lever the pads apart.
