Remove the rubber boot and check for corrosion.

Oh I would not do all that. Take out the brake pads(remembering how they go) and just get a c clamp and press the caliper back slowly moving side to side. Make sure to remove brake resiviour cap because your fluid will rise back up, and put the cap BACK on before pressing the brakes after you are done. Or you will have to bleed brakes.
