Disc brake help

Hey guys,

I have searched the form for answers but haven't had any luck finding my answer.

I recently purchased an older Clark unit for my home shop to build a mezzanine and do general lifts with my cars and fab stuff.

I got the unit home and quick tune up had it running in no time. First big issue is the front left brake is locked up and will not move at all. It appears this unit has the disc style brakes with the 3 piston caliper inside the front diff.

Attached is a picture showing where I have the unit now, I have the 4 nuts removed from the studs on the back side and the bolts out of the front side. Does this assembly come out as one ? Will the stuck brake cause issues with me removing this ?

Any input is appreciated. Also needs the front cylinder re-packed/sealed as it pukes from every ram. Any input or recommendations there is greatly appreciated as well.

Image of what I am talking about is located here [img]https://ibb.co/keQnsx[/img]

The bolts in the wheel well are only half of the bolts that hold the whole axle end on. The other ones are studs with nuts that can be seen if you raise the forks and look in middle part of the front of the forklift and there is one on the underside. Then that will come off after the brake line is off.
