Brake caliper Problem
I took My wheel of today because it would not turn with out the whole car moving it turns out that I have a ceased caliper I was wondering if I soak it in diesel will it free up the cylinder and if that wont work how much does one of those thing cost. I was also told that if I do 1 I should do the other one to.

Trying to fix a frozen caliper is difficult, and you still have to rebuilt it.
Just get a rebuilt caliper from your parts store & swap it.
This can be prevented.
Brake fluid gets contaminated & looses it's additive package over time.
Whenever you change belts & hoses, bleed the brakes to flush the worn out brake fluid.
