I'm gonna go with rear caliper on this one... If it was the bearing, it'd make a noise.

Its not the bearing.

turn the piston clockwise to go inwards, you can use a tool that is made for the rear piston available at most auto parts stores, or some people use a ratchet with socket extension, I've never had much luck with the extension but I have the tool.

Pins on the front are opposite the rear in terms of location, grooved pin on top at front, and on bottom at rear.

im thinking calper also, it happens. Typical reason is the fluid not being shanged often enough. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time and it is reccomended to bleed out every 3 years t oprevent this. Not doing so allows this moistur to cause rust in the system which leads to Caliper failure

Thanks for all the insight everybody.Great stuff... Ok , Took everything apart and inspected it, re-greased and put it all back together. Brake doesn't seem to be sticking now.I am going to keep a close eye on it for a bit. I am hoping this was just a "needed re-greased issue" or, maybe I had the pins in backwards from last year's pad change? "not sure that would cause it?" it is garage kept,and not really driven hard.pretty much my corner store go-getter... Anyways, I am going to check all calipers and re-grease all the parts again. thinking maybe I didn't grease them enough or right..and I gatta check all the pins now to double check I didn't mix any up last year when I did the pads.Thanks again everybody! will post if I find anything else..

Anybody know where the best price is for a new or rmd caliper?

The same thing happened with mine about a month ago. The left rear was really tight and the right one wasn't far behind. I went ahead and replaced both rear calipers, pads and turned the rotors. Good as new! IMHO it wasn't worth my time repairing the old calipers, that seemed like more of a Band-Aid.
