Happy Sunday BB's (for most of us anyway..)

My 90 has what appears to be a stuck piston on the driver's side rear caliper. Outer perimeter of the rotor has a ring of rust. Inner half is fine. One piston appears to be stuck inside the caliper.

My question is since I replaced that caliper 2 1/2 years ago (totally seized then), any advice on how you would proceed? I'm probably going to replace the caliper, but I'm not sure what to do about the rotor and pads. Resurface or replace the rotor? Or leave as is and hope the rust will wear off. What about the pads?

I like having all the parts together when I start a job....

Thanks all for any help you can give!
