PB blaster around the piston to caliper interface.
Rust forms there and is probably the Number one reason for calipers sticking.

atany rate make sure your fingers are not in the pistons path when it decides to let go.

I rigged up a 17mm M/C on my bench got it plumbed with a resevoir and everything. Works good to test the caliper after rebuilding.
I just did Derek Kim's Calipers today and it went well after I fixed the rear adjuster. Freaking little spring !!!!!!!!!!!!
