How to Fix a Stuck Brake Caliper

On old car the brake calipers get sticky or get stuck due to rust internally, leading to even even braking and difficulty changing the pads. In this video I dismantle the front brake Caliper on an MG ZS (like a Honda Civic) by popping out the Caliper piston using the pressure from the brake system, then dismantle all the seals, clean it all up and reassemble and lubricate so that the piston moves freely.
