Kz 200 sticky front caliper

Can anyone give a pointer how to unstick my front caliper? Removed the tension off the cable and it's not that simple. I removed the dust cover from what appears to be the back of the piston that pushes the pad and found a slotted head, but that stored head doesn't even show on any parts schematics I've seen?

Are you asking about #24, called the stopper?

No, not #24, it's on the other side.

Yes, I'll take it apart and clean it up, I just didn't know if there was a trick.
