[T3] Brake calipers

["joel briglia" <jbrig@enter.net>]

<x-flowed>I have a siezed brake caliper on my '73 fastback. I was able to open it with 
a screw driver, but it locks right up again when I step on the brake pedal. 
I removed the caliper hoping to work it open and closed and maybe free it 
up. It closes perfectly, but will not release. I pried it open and 
reinstalled it. When I tried to bleed it, the bleeder valve snapped right 
off! Should I just replace the caliper? I really don't know how old it is. 
What brand of caliper should I buy if I do replace it? Where should I get it 
from? What other parts need to be replaced along with the caliper?
