Burning smell

Rear driver side has a burning smell coming from the brakes. I'm thinking it's a stuck caliper but i took the wheel off and pushed the piston in with a c clamp and pushed the pedal and it came back out. Did that multiple times... dust shield was rusting away so I just tore it off.. adjusted the E brake as well. Inspected the pads and this what they look like. They have meat left but look like they are "crumbling" a bit at the top. Should i replace???? Going to re grease the slider pins tomorrow afternoon but after that idk what else it would be. Didn't check if anything I did fixed the issue but wanted to get it all done instead of jacking up the car 10 different times part by part lol

Replace those pads and the rotors too. Regrease the slider pins and make sure they move, Also replace the boots if they're torn.

Holy smokes those look horrible. For sure replace those and inspect everything else back there very closely.
