Default 1997 front calipers??

My front calipers seem to be sticking a bit and i am having a somewhat difficult time trying to depress the piston while using a c-clamp. i have the bleeder open and it just seems to not push the brake fluid out very quick. Any one know of a good way to kinda free up the piston (rebuild kits ect.?) or should i start looking at a new caliper?

Thanks

I recommend you get new (remanufactured) from your local dealer or parts store. Remember, if you are going to replace it, must do it in pairs (i.e left and right).
