Caliper maintenance
got a feeling one of my calipers might be giving me a bit of stickon every now and again
whats the quickest and easiest way to give them a bit of lube to free them up??? WD40 at the piston??
Sorry im a beginner

You dont really want to be spraying wd40 around your brakes.
If the caliper piston is sticking then there are service kits available which inllude all the necessary seals to enable you to strip down, clean and rebuild the caliper. However, it may be the caliper sider pins that are sticking or even just the pads sticking in the caliper.
If the caliper piston is sticking then i personally wouldnt go to the trouble of rebuilding/servicing it. Reconditioned calipers are not that expensive.
