Rear brake calipers
#1
I have changed the rear discs and pads on my 306 hdi due to one side pads discs warn.

So I checked the calipers other side was fine 2 bolts moving smooth and winding caliper in and out.

The other side out of the 2 bolts 1 was not free moving sliding so greased it up and got it free so both worked also winding caliper in out out ok to.

But its still sticking slightly there a rubber boot with the arm for handbrake cable going in to it I think it might need greasing up in there?

Try removing the pistons dust boot, take the piston out a bit and use a toothbrush or similar to clean around it, then wind back in and replace boot. Sometimes small amount of debris gets in there and causes sticking.
