if they are disk brakes,
check the brake fluid, and check the brake pads, if these are fine then...
remove the caliper, once you have the caliper off, remove the piston inside.
clean the outside of the pisto removing any rust or build up.
the carefully clean the hole the piston came out of removing any build up or rust.
reinstall then bleed the brake calipers.
Keep it RUBBER SIDE DOWN!!

I am afraid that I will break it trying to get it out

Hey, had the same problem with two different arctic cats, my 400 and 650 v-twin. Both were 2004. The problem is the master cylinder that is bad. The piston in side actually freezes up and no way to break it loose. I had an extended warranty for both machines and they replaced the master cylinder with updated parts. Now fluid reservoir are seperate units. Works great now on both machines. Hope this helps. By the way if you dont have extended warranty on your machine you can expect to pay about 285 dollars to fix yourself.
