Right Rear Caliper freezing
On our 2009 Lancer RA the right rear claiper gets stuck from time to time.
I have lifted the rear and tested it and it was fine.
Then you drive and it get's stuck.
Had a (independent) shop look at it and they said the caliper and brake line needs to be replaced.
Thoughts on if this is the right diagnosis and if this really needs a replacement or if a re-built can fix this?

So here are the things I did so far:
Exchange rear pads and use tool to push caliper back.
Then pads wore through again.
Rplaced pad's seconds time.
Checked caliper goes in smoothly
Replaced "gliding bolts" that hold caliper
Jack up rear of car and turn tires.
Step on brake and turn tires..
multiple tries
It was fine most of the tries, except for one...

I ended up buying a new caliper from Rock Auto, which after core return cost me something like $40.
Swapping the calipers took me a while, since i still had not unpacked my garage since we moved...
Some tools I found in the last box I unpacked.
Anyhow, new caliper is in and seems to be working fine, did a short test ride.
