Removed the pads today the passenger side was fine, but on the driers side one of the bolts was ridiculous to remove. After taking the caliper off the side at which the bolt wouldnt budge I found one of the two pistons was sized. I dont see how the bolt would effect the piston, maybe the bolt has nothing to do with piston seizing.

I never noticed any braking issues when driving, but now the thing just wont move. Even tried a hyd jack to force the piston back and that didnt work.

Is it safe to spray some oil/lube around the piston. Its looking like I need a new caliper so would be great if anyone has any ideas to get the piston out.
