Default Seized Caliper

I replaced my brake pads last year along with my rear passenger side caliper because it was seized. This week, I noticed the rear passenger pads have worn down, leading me to believe it's seized again. My question is, is there anything else that would cause a caliper to seize up or should I just replace it again?

rebuild them yourself. basically you need to remove the pistons, and lubricate and change the seals. do a search on youtube...there are a few good videos on how to do this.

So you think odds are the caliper is the problem again? Is that a common issue for the GS>
