what makes a brake caliper stick
Step 5 - Sand Brake Pads. Once the caliper is free of the rotor you can pry out the brake pads. Sometimes rust will accumulate on the edges of the brake pad and cause the caliper to stick. Once you have the pad in you hands, use some 500 grit sandpaper and sand off any rust, or dirt. Sand it down until you see bare metal on the pad.
