If a caliper gets stuck, take it off and rebuild the whole damn thing.. It will only get worse and you'll wreck the pistons sooner or later if you dont fix them. Doesnt affect braking performance though, it's probably the handbrake mechanism that gets sludged up or something, causing it to stop the piston from going back in far enough.
Using special tools will prevent unnecessary damage to the piston, most other tools will leave all kinds of marks on the piston, especially of it is really difficult to turn.

FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC!
