Front Brake Caliper LHS (Day 68)

Getting more stuff off the bike and I find another problem.  I knew the brakes were seized but how do I get the piston out of the caliper?  Is it even worth doing this?  If the caliper is rusted surely a new piston would not make the part serviceable and I need a new caliper as well?

 The last time I moved the bike the front fork seal popped on the LHS which accounts for all the oil over the caliper.
