sticky brake caliper

[higs356]

So its been parked for a while and I took it for a run last week

I thought I was loosing power at low revs and when going round corners until I parked up and noticed I couldnt roll the car fwd (with no gears engaged or hbrake on)

So is there a quick fix for this ...hammer tap ?
Where the car is at the moment I dont have a jack so I'm not sure which one it is but believe it to be in the front as it seems to brake by itself on rh corners .

Quick fix is to buy a piston separator, take the pads out and use the brake pedal to push the pistons out (its best to inset the tool first) then using the separator push the pistons back in. Do that 4 or 5 times. If the calliper was good to start with this normally helps free it up.

Thanks

If you take the car for a short drive and feal the calapers when you stop you should find the hot one! if you have a infered temp sensor even better. regards Berny.
