Buick Gran Sport 1994 Rear caliper frozen. How do I remove and replace? Do I have to do both sides?

The piston has to be threaded back in using a special tool so if the rotors are grooved, you're going to have a hard time getting the caliper off because you can't thread it back in until the caliper is removed. Here are a couple examples of different tools for that.
