I had same problem, 1st see if you can pry open the piston just a little bit by
shoving a flat screw driver between rotor & brake pad. And or in my case I
had to grind off the edge of the rotor as tall as the pad in order to slide out the
pads.Then replace the unit..

How do you remove a caliper that is stuck on the rotor 95 cutlass supreme SL?
Usually you can put a screwdriver between the edge of the rotor and the caliper and pry up on it. Stuck from rust, heat, or piston in caliper will not release? Rust, heat, it will pry up. Not releasing, open bleeder screw if possible without breaking it off.
What do you do if the C clamp will not push the ear of the brake caliper in so you can change the pads on a 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme?
Look at the pistons in the caliper. If it is a cup type piston there could be several reasons for this, (requiring researching technical manuals). But if it is a solid piston with what appears to be 4 raised tabs around the piston in a + configuration this suggests that you may need to screw the piston back into the caliper turning it clockwise. Sometimes this takes quite a bit of turning. Otherwise the pistons are stuck, or you might need to open the bleed screws and compress the pistons as some vehicles have one-way pressure valves in the system. . To add a '96 cutlass caliper piston has to be screwed in clockwise with also applying steady pressure

Where is the ABS Computer on a 1991 Caprice and how can you disconnect it so it can release pressure on a caliper?
that's not how you relese pressure on the caliper. you disconnect the brake fluid hose from the caliper and that will relese the pressure. if the caliper still won't move then you need to take the caliper apart and clean it good because the piston is most likely getting stuck.

Check to see if the throttle plate is stuck
What would cause the emergency brake on a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse to get stuck in the on position and would it be easy to fix?
it could be a seized caliper piston, in cold weather it could be frozen, or the cable is seized up, depending on whats wrong it should be fairly simple, unless its a seized caliper piston, that may be a little hard it could be a seized caliper piston, in cold weather it could be frozen, or the cable is seized up, depending on whats wrong it should be fairly simple, unless its a seized caliper piston, that may be a little hard
What causes front disc brakes to stay engaged when warm and disengage when they cool down?
The next time the brakes are stuck engaged, try opening a bleeder in one of the calipers to see if the pressure releases or not. If the pressure releases I would suspect a faulty master cylinder. If only one caliper is stuck, it could be a collapsed brake hose, stuck slider pins or a stuck caliper piston.
