Grinding Noise from Rear Brakes

While comming to a stop I get a griding noise from the rear brakes. I narrowed the noise down to the paseenger side wheel. After inspection of the pads I did not notice any wear on the pads or rotor. I'm thinking the caliper is sticking closed. Can I just replace the seals in the caliper and call it a day or should I try bleeding the line first?

these cars are known for the rear calipers not being the best. i would check the rear brakes again, check the inboard pads and the back of the rotor. might need CPR on the back.

I got some rear pads around. Should I try to swap them and see what happens?
Swapped out the pads. Not as much noise but it's still there a lil.
