I would replace both side at the same time, use some PB Blaster on the bolts and let them sit over night, I would not just throw on used ones. do you know it is the caliper ? are the pads worn down all the way ? how are the rotors ? do you live in the USA ? I know you said there is no money, if the pads are worn down I would throw on a set then save up for loaded cal's and maybe rotors.

If your check engine light is on at least you know the light still works

I need to do a oil change and the cold is a biggy for me I have nerve damage in my hands and any cold my fingers go numb and hurt so bad I have to run hot water over them, maybe this Sat. they say it should be warmer, I know a lot of guys here get it colder but my body just can not take the cold anymore.
