Stickey brakes? HELP/ADVICE needed

Hi guys,

 

My front left hand side brakes keep sqeaking so much when I brake..Normally this happans once the brakes have warmed up I.E 10 mins after i start the journey. Sometimes when im driving slowly I can hear a noise slight intermitent sqeaking as if something is rubbing..

 

I have been told that it might be sticky calipers? I dont know what that is, but I have been told that there is a brake cleaning kit that can be aquired and that the calipers need to be dissembled and re greased etc?

 

 

What is the cleaning kit and where can I get it?

How big of a job is it?

What damage could have been done as I have had this problem for a while.

squueking usaully is where the pad isnt retracting back once u take your foot of the brake pedal. i know when you buy most aftermarket pads they give you some rubber pads that space them out a bit. if it sounds like metal on metal could be pads low if havnt changed the fronts at same time. can be the piston getting sticky as well can just run some greese along it to smooth it a bit. worked on mine.
