YES! If the car has been in use could be the caliper the caliper slider or the brake hose connected to the caliper. yes, if the car has been in use and the rotor is rusty then the caliper is frozen and needs to be taken apart and replaced.
caliper bolts are the two bolts that hold a brake caliper to the caliper mounting bracket. On both the front and rear of the vehicle (unless has rear drum brakes) the bolts have rubber boots around them working as slide pins.
To retract a caliper, first, ensure the brake system is depressurized if you're working on a brake caliper. Use a caliper tool or a C-clamp to gently push the piston back into the caliper housing. If the caliper has a screw-type mechanism, turn the screw clockwise until the piston is fully retracted. Once retracted, check for smooth movement and reassemble any components as needed.

The brake caliper on a 1992 Oldsmobile Regency may not be working due to several reasons, including a hydraulic leak in the brake line, a stuck or seized caliper piston, or worn-out brake pads. Corrosion or debris can also obstruct the caliper's movement. Additionally, issues with the brake master cylinder or insufficient brake fluid can contribute to caliper malfunction. A thorough inspection of the braking system is necessary to diagnose the specific issue.
Caliper pistons should retract if calipers are in working order. Calipers need to be removed and rebuilt or replaced. A brake fluid flush is highly recommended.
To fix a loose caliper on your car's brake system, you will need to first jack up the car and remove the wheel. Then, tighten the bolts that secure the caliper to the mounting bracket. Make sure the caliper is properly aligned and not rubbing against the rotor. Finally, test the brakes to ensure they are working properly before driving the car.
If there are disc brake, it could be frozen caliper slides or a frozen caliper piston. If they are drum brakes, it could be a frozen wheel cylinder.
