Calipers Frozen?

Hey everyone.

So i went to change out my front rotors and pads today.

First one went no problem however the second caliper wont compress back into the closed position.

Any ideas what this could be or should i just go get a new caliper.

Had this happen on a Ranger I was working on. I used the biggest c-clamp and the biggest guy I could and no luck, new caliper time.

Yea i figured

So are there better caliper options out there?

not unless you get bigger rims... then you can get corvette calipers. otherwise, napa seems to have the better quality OEM ones out there.
