03 GP GT w/ ~165k
friend helped me with my brakes last week and noticed that a significant amount of force had to be applied with c-clamp (or whatever the tool is) to pry-open the caliper so we could install it back over the new pads.
this was the only caliper that gave us any issues or major resistance.
under what circumstances would it be beneficial to replace the caliper?
they are not expensive for used replacement parts, but just curious if it is an issue at all and what type of failure to expect if something did happen.
