Toomany, it is possible to free-up a sticking caliper. Get a can of brake cleaner. Spray the heck out of the sticking caliper. Give the caliper some gentle raps with a hammer as your spraying and cleaning. When done cleaning, spray the piston side of the caliper down with a good spray lube, then fully compress it. put the pads in, install the caliper, and pedal it out. Repeat the process a couple of times using the thin worn pads, so the piston moves more. If it seems to be responding, swap out the pads with the other side and spray down with brake cleaner to remove the lube. Measure the thickness of the pads, then drive it for a while and check those pads. Sometimes this works.
