Yep, you will need to remove the flexible hose and clamp it so you don't lose fluid. Then remove the two bolts holding the caliper on i think they are twelve mil. Remove the caliper and i would place it in a bucket of wd40 overnight and then see what it's like the next day. Before all this tho i would ensure that the slides are free first (where the 12mm bolts go in) and before removing the flexi hose put a large g cramp on the piston and wind it in to make sure the piston can move. Plenty of them in scrap yards. Hope this helps.
