My front brake has been really hard to pull lately, so I took apart the front caliper and found that one of the pistons is sticking. What should I do to make it free again. Any help appreciated.

Personally I clamp the freely moving one in with a G cramp and pump the lever until the other one unsticks.

Take the piston out clean it, remove the rubber seal in the caliper and clean behind that then put it all back together.

Or pay me £20 to do it. Very Happy
