The brake caliper of your car has a piston that
contains a rubber boot around it to protects,
seals and lubricates the piston.

be easily torn when the piston back into the
caliper.

When it gets torn, the rust and other debris
build up inside the caliper and cause the piston
to not slide smoothly and stick the brake
caliper.

The caliper has the grooves that can hold the
brake pads and let the slides to push on the
brake pedal and out when you let off.

The brake pad shims get stuck in the groove due
to the corroded or the debris built up in them
and unable to slide them correctly.

shims or replace the shims which are causing the
sticking issues.

small piece of brake hoses still attached to the
main part of the hose.

fluid will flow to the brake piston and makes the
brake pads to engage and slow the car.

to return to the master cylinder and cause the
caliper to stick and pull the car to one side.

lubed because it contains the protective rubber
boots to keep them lubricated.
