I just replaced my left front with the same problem. I normally use channel pliers, but the caliper would not budge. With a C clamp, it finally went home with a whole lot of torque.
I had wondered if removing the brake line from the caliper would be problem. So I got my trusty adjustable wrench and it came loose without much pressure.

With the new caliper and slide pins liberally greased, my brakes work like they are supposed to.

Also a good time to replace the brake fluid.
