did the car sit for a while?

i really like using large pump pliers to set these free -

if that doesnt work, go to chain a autoparts store and buy two matching rebuilt calipers for $120 total and dont look back. i have installed many and every one has been fine. (cue everyone with bad chain store caliper experiences)
