O/S/F brake caliper piston

Going from the metal on metal grind and the heating of disc and fluid I am assumming that the front caliper has a piston siezed in the out position.....now O already got a set of repair rubbers....do I nip to the scrappers,get another whole caliper,servive and whack it on...or take the current encumbent off after ordering new pistons and service and fit that?

To bear in mind...I live in a rural location 5 miles plus from town,both me and wife disabled/ill,its my only working car so canr afford to be off road more than a day or so......

advise quickly please as the scrappys shut at 4

Iv'e had same problem on previouse cars and after freeing the piston and giving it a good clean worked perfect. Problem with scrapyards you may end up buying one with same or simular problem especially if its been standing for a long time. I would personally fix it.

Just to say I had similar prob. After a couple of hours down the scrappy I found that all calipers were as bad or worse than mine! I ordered a new one via 'Paddock spares' for less than the price that the scrappy was quoting for a naff one! I also fitted a master cylinder as well but that was a seperate problem. [Brake was sticking on].
