"...Are you sure it is the caliper and not the hose?..."

As George points out, the hose is often the problem, not the caliper. You may be able to differentiate between the two possibilities by:

1. Pressing on the the brake pedal and releasing it.

2. Verify the pads are atill clamped down on the rotor.

3. Crack open the bleeder valve and see if the pads release the rotor. If it releases, the problem is likely the hose.
