Default brake caliper problem

The brake caliper piston is frozen on the front right. Just wondering before we go try and take it off if there is a easier way to get it unfrozen without taking the whole caliper off, and cleaning the piston. Thanks

nope.... once its frozen even if you get it unstuck the seals are likely dead, either rebuild with new rubber for $10 or reman-ed caliper for $40ish... i'd do reman though

well the new problem is the upper bolt that hold the caliper on is frozen or i would have already gotten a new one for 7 bucks at the junk yard. But its no use when I cant get the old one off first.
