09 SS/TC Left Rear Caliper

My drivers side rear caliper seems to be a fair amont hotter then the one on the passanger side. When i jack the car up in the air and spin the wheel. It will rotate about 1.5 to 2 full turns. While the passanger side will roatate about 5or 6 times. Maybe even 7. Hiw ever. It doeant seem to cause the car to pull to one side while braking yet. In fact. The car seems to still roll in netural really far on a flat surface. And doesnt feel dragged down yet. But i guess it is the start of a sticking caliper . So i guess what i really wanted to know. Is there a way. Shirt of replacing the caliper which i cant afford at the moment. To free the pistons back up a little bit where its not totally siezed yet ?

You could try taking them apart, regreasing and put back together. Good luck

I tried that yesterday. No change really. Its not sticking overly bad at all yet. Just seems to be a bit hot. Pionting to a bit of extra extra drag. I just dont know how to free up the caliper piston. Every thing elese is free and moves easily.
