Spin your front wheel....
Alrighty here is a quick lesson on brakes follow these instructions
1. open bleeder screw if the wheel spins free now you have a bad hose. If not you have a stick caliper.
If it is a caliper get a air compressor, remove your brake pads, place a rag between the piston and the out side, make sure your bleeder is closed then take the air gun(one with a rubber tip) place it in the hole where the banjo bolt was spray. But make sure your fingers are out of the way cause that piston will and I repeat will break your fingers. (also make sure the caliper is facing down that way the piston doesnt take off like a rocket. next remove the dust boot, then the seal clean using a old tooth brush then clean the surface of the piston. next lube the piston put the dust boot around the piston place also place the seal back in , push the piston in. If it does not want to do in do not force it in with a hammer you will wreck the square cut seal. just work it backin forth ot will go. then your just rebuilt to caliper.
2. if it is a line just replace it, cant really expalin that.

i find it works better if you actually put the piston against a peice of wood or something, ive had the psiton come out and hit the ground and bounce, not fun chasing those things around the garage.

You won't see the kink, but it keeps the caliper from retracting..
