You got some excellent advice from others on how to do it yourself. If,
like me, though, you have limited skills in this kind of thing, you can also
farm the job out to Apple Hydraulics or other reputable service center.
They rebuilt my calipers, which were not only frozen, but had not one but
TWO easy outs I'd managed to break off in the bleeder screw.
It took one heroic effort to unscrew the screw up I gave them.
NFI.
