brake sticking

[wdworkman]

My driver side brake caliper is sticking. (95 ex sedan with ABS) I'm sure it's not the emergency brake. What should I do? Could it possibly just need cleaning?

it could very well be cleaning, but is not limited to that. My passenger side used to stick a bit, and there was a lot of gunky stuff on the rotor. after cleaning and polishing it off it felt fine...never hurts to try!

if it seizes, its always easier just to replace the part.

Thanks, If I can't collapse the caliper cylinder, I think I'll just replace the whole caliper; I found that the shoes were thin.

Thanks for the quick reply.
