If you popped the cable end off, and the lever on the caliper didn't snap back to fully open, then the caliper is junk.
Even if you get the lever to move freely on the outside, the piston has to move in and out when you do that....if it doesn't, the mechanism inside is frozen.
Besides, once they sieze up like that one time, they end up doing it over and over again.
No need to call anyone an idiot

You could have possibly needed pads, rotors, cables, and calipers.

the cables are good (seemingly) a bit rusty when you move the seal to look, but seem ok. and i got one calpier to move freely, but the other (left) one won't release on it's own. they work for braking, which is the most important part... i still can't believe i've been driving around like that

OK there redgolf28v, post some pics of your ride so i can tell you how much of a POS it is. It seems that you're hard headed...his calipers froze, meaning his pads prolly were touching the rotor the whole time, HMMMMMMMM wouldnt that make sense to check the pads first? OO wait..sounds like an idea to me....and i dont need a bently really cause ive worked on dubs enough times to at least know what im talking about somewhat.
