Try cleaning out the two bolts with the rubber boot that lets the caliper slide back and forth. These aren't the 2 bolts that attach the caliper to the hub, these are the two smaller ones that attach the caliper to the pad assembly together. After cleaning, use synthetic grease(ask for synthetic caliper grease at auto zone) grease the two bolts. This should free up blocked/old gunky passageways between the caliper and pad assembly thing, and make your caliper not stick anymore. hope this helps

Yup, just be careful not to over grease the pins, or you'll be back in the same boat!
