Question calapers

2005 ultra
are the frnt brake calapers hard to rebuild?
are all 4 pistons pressure pistons or are 2 of them stationary where they dont move as much as the primary ones? cleaned with the shoe string and tooth brush and break kleen but the two dont come out as far as the other two

All 4 pistons should move rather easily. It might take a few cleanings to get them freed up. You might also have to hold 3 (get creative) to get the one that you need to move.

I never thought of a shoe string to clean the pistons I'll be doing that tomorrow just to keep them clean
