That is kinda the way I was thinking.
When I have unstuck calipers (some of them several times, and now still functional)
I have been able to force them out with the brake pedal, lube/clean and force them back in,
then repeat the cycle about 3 times after which they worked well for several years
or until long sitting inoperative.
I forced them against brake pads with no friction material. For reasons unknown to me
the seals NEVER gave out!
