Parking Brake Stuck

Whenever I try to use my parking brake, the right side gets stuck and the pads won't release. Is there something I can do to keep it from sticking or can I just take that side off and only use the left side? Thanks

you need new rear calipers.. remember change them as a set left and right its bad maintenance to change just one side.

I have lost my brakes twice while driving

Both of my rear caliper lines burst one at a time, about 6 months apart. NO FUN, almost died.
