Caliper Is Sticking.

[kidsixpack]

My front left caliper seems to stick when it warms up. I'm guessing it's got something to do with the car sitting a lot. Anyway is there a quick fix for this or will I need to replace or look into a rebuild?
Thanks KID

I've got them apart how do I address this issue? Our cars are equipped with the 1LE brakes and there are no slides. How do I address this? If not the slides what is sticking?
Help!

It is a duel piston, start there.

What i have found is the brake hoses come apart inside over time. they will let fluid in but not back out. I have seen this on three 3rd gens we have owned.

I had the same on my front left years ago; one of the pistons where stuck so took it all apart and you could tell the aluminium in the caliper had corroded slightly (had a very hard time to get the one piston out) ... cleaned it all up and rebuilt it (kit from autozone or similar place) ... worked fine for maybe a year then same again; was lucky to find a NOS one on ebay (have since picked up a couple more NOS units both front and rear) and swapped them over and had no problem since.

When I first got the car I swapped all the brake "rubber" lines with stainless braided lines for better brake feel and less chance of them detoriating internally over time; can't remember the brand I used at the moment would have to look it up.

Do you have to bleed all 4 when changing the caliper? Or just the one side that your changing the caliper on? Heard two different opinions and I'm curious who's right.
