To fix a sticky brake caliper piston, first, remove the caliper from the brake assembly and inspect the piston for dirt and corrosion. Clean the piston with brake cleaner and use a soft brush to remove debris. If the piston is still sticking, consider using a caliper rebuild kit to replace seals or the piston itself. Finally, reassemble the caliper and ensure proper lubrication of moving parts before reinstalling.
