While waiting for the Left Outer Sill to arrive, partially rebuilt the left front caliper. "Partially", because only one piston was frozen. Using a C-Clamp to restriant the working piston, pump brake pedal until frozen piston began to move. Continue to slowly pump brake pedal until piston fell out. Upon examination, the piston did not appear to be rusted past the lip (where it is normally exposed to the element).
Following instructions included in the seal kit, reassembled the half of the caliper. This includes replacing the inner seal, dust seal, dust seal retainer ring, and piston. Also bleed the brakes, good pedal feel.
Was unable to replace rotors. In order to replace the rotors, the axle nut must be removed. Didn't have a socket big enough for that, nor a impact gun. Will have to pay someone to do that.
