So, I got the new caliper on last night, went on without any major
issues, biggest problem was finding hose to help with the line
bleeding, ( ended up using some gas line from an old weed whip)
Everything went on just like it should have, no stuck bolts that
couldn't be freed ect.. Thanks to all for you help!

Once I got the old caliper off and could pull at the piston boot
without worry, I could definitely tell what the problem was. There
was a good amount of rust on the side of the piston.

thanks again.
