Caliper Sticking?

My TTA has been sitting quite a bit the last couple years. When I drove it a few weeks back the drivers side caliper got stuck. After a cool down it freed up and got home ok. I removed the caliper last night and I really don’t see any obvious issues. I can’t see an movement when the brakes are applied so I’m really not sure what’s getting hung up.
Any ideas?
Thanks

could be the rubber brake hose to the caliper coming apart inside and not letting the pressure back out from the caliper. i have seen this on several 3rd gen cars.

Interesting. I’ve seen hoses collapse before.
I’ll look at that. I took it apart and it appears that the dust boot has broken apart. Might be causing the sticking. Still looking.

Autozone has the reseal kit , think less than 20 dollars per caliper.I did all 4 on my car 2 years ago.Glad you solved your issue.
