Maybe if you had been squirting wd40 at the top of the hand brake pivot shaft where it enters the caliper for the last year
But I have had little success with this problem
I have even firgured out how to pull the caliper apart and reassemble it
I've drilled some and installed grease nipples
It is the same caliper as most VW with rear discs from the early 1990s

Subject: [Peugeot-L] 405 MI16 Sticky Handbrake
The handbrake mechanism on the left rear caliper is sticky and not
returning. Has anyone had any luck freeing this up or am I destined
for a new caliper?
Thanks,
John
