Hey everybody,
I tackled the job of changing the brakes this weekend and ran into a considerable snag, I did the passenger side without an issue, when I got to the drivers side I found the pads on this side to be twice as thick, and when trying to compress the caliper piston I feel im putting way to much force on it...The seal that goes around the piston is also not where its supposed to be...is the caliper frozen? is that why im getting uneven wear? My calipers say ATE on them but there no spring clip...here are pictures for reference:

The pads on the left are from the passenger side caliper(compressed fine) The pads on the right are from the drivers side(wont compress without a TON of force)

This is the caliper in question. You can see the seal sitting out of the piston. If I was able to compress the piston correctly, that seal should sit itself back in place...
If this is a frozen caliper, do I need to replace both calipers?
Its a 1992 Saab 9000 CD Turbo.
