Stuck brake caliper SC-300
Before I take my SC-300 (97 5 speed) in for repair:
What are the first try fixes for a stuck front brake caliper. The sticking is not always severe (pulsing) but should be fixed. The car will go in Tuesday (by flatbed) if nothing shows up here.
Thanks.

You sure it's a sticking caliper and not warped rotors?
Warped rotors can be characterized by pulsing or shuddering under heavier braking loads...
You can use some high-temp grease/lubricant to help free up the calipers, thus saving $$$ from taking it to the $tealer (I mean dealer).
Hope that helps.
