Default brake caliper question

Hi guys, quick question.
If even after removing the brake fluid hose from the caliper, I can't back down the caliper, then, the caliper is defective and I should just get another right?
I cleaned up trying to find the reason for this tire brakes to go up to 460f versus 200f or so in the others and some pulsating in the highway.
My hypothesis is stuck caliper.
Inner pads of the parking brake and the system looks clean and I'm good operating order

If it doesnt release when the bleeder valve is open then the caliper is locked.
