Do you mean the bleed valve was frozen?
It seems like if it was there are a lot of things to try before you go thru this whole project. One thing I can think of is that if it was stuck, It probably wasn't a good time or the place to try and fix it because there is a chance you would have been stranded. (It could quickly turn into a bigger project.) If it was the piston that was frozen, you should certainly fix that ASAP, but I'm not sure you need to replace them. Lastly, I was told that someone had put a right caliper on the left side. The bleed valve was on the bottom and not the top. I didn't question the source, but maybe I should have. It would seem if it was the wrong way that the brake hose would have also been in a funky spot. I'm glad you posted this because I have a lot of the same questions. Now I gotta go look at my calipers again. This is driving me nuts! I'd love to help, but I burned a lot of Brownie Points just going to the Inspection. It will be a few weeks before I get some stuff done arround the house. Anyway if your replacing stuff I may need a front left caliper.
