Hi chaps,
What's the best way to tackle a sticking handbrake / footbrake. When I park up at night I apply the foot brake then I go to it the next day turn car pull the handle to release the parking brake and the car sometimes doesn't move I have to give it a little movement then a little jolt happens to free it up then all seems well. I'm thinking the caliper piston is seizing up. What do you think the best way to tackle this is and any instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
