Ok guys and gals, i have a question for ya'll. My best friends TJ has a sticky break caliper piston. What I need to know is how to clean it out. We are not willing to break into the thing until we have some info and she left her manual at home.....bad girl!! lol. A super quick response would be appreciated because I have to send her down the road tomorrow....a long winding freeway. Thanks!!

The piston is sticking? Short and sweet.. Take the caliper off and push some low pressure air through it to get the piston out. Take off the dust boot and seal (careful not to ruin it or scratch the piston bore). Clean 'em up with brake cleaner and put it back together.
