Caliper hanging up on big brake kit

So ive got disk brakes all around and have the Wilwood kit. My breaks have been squeeking pretty bad and I found out that its because one of the calipers is hanging up. Anyone know how to fix this or is there a DIY out there somewhere? Pretty sure the piston needs to be lubricated but im not exactly sure what im doing. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Is it the wilwood kit or an oem caliper. if its a wilwood, email/call them and ask. if its an oem, pull the caliper off the bracket and grease the sliders.

^^ agreed but if you have the wilwood kit its more likely the pads, since they are for race cars and not made for the street they will squeal and make a ton of noise when they are not hot. I have never installed a wilwood kit that hasn't made noise on the street.
