Default 1993 del sol: brake caliper seized up

Greetings all! i have been browsing the forums for years and have gotten much useful information. I know have a problem i can't find a solution for! I just aquired a 1993 del sol for a great deal. I love this little car but it needs some work! Doing the rear brakes and rotors right now and the passenger rear caliper is locked up! I'm removing it but i can't seem to be able to get the cable that leads to the spring disconnected. Anyone have advice or some steps i can take to do this? possibly a link to a parts breakdown? It looks like there's a lock pin that's held on by a cotter pin. I removed the cotter pin but the lock pin seems to be stuck in place... maybe it's just seized up? Thanks in advance.

Just figured i'd ask, but are you trying push the caliper piston back in with a C clamp and thinking its seized? The rear calipers have to have pistons rotated in with a special tool, or a large flat screwdriver, piece of flat stock etc.
