calipers are one thing you don't want to screw around with.
You can try disassembling them and soaking them in CLP (break-free with teflon, used by military types to clean weapons), then reassembling them, but with all the itty bitty parts, etc. it may be less aggrivating and give you better piece of mind to just buy new ones

CLP is some super strong **** we use on military aircraft when 2 parts have merged into one through the corrossion prosses of oxidation, commonly know as RUST. You can unstick bearings, nuts and bolts, clean parts with it, etc. Its like if WD-40 was a firecracker, CLP would be an atomic bomb.

I had a piston freeze in the rear caliper. Couldn't remove piston.Even when soaked with fluid, it wouldn't budge. I had to use a KD piston tool I use to push pistons in. I used it to remove the piston....A lot of work and aggrevation. Easier picking up rebuilt calipers.
