I have this same problem on my 1980 505 SD, and I'm told it's common on that car, but I haven't heard of it on any Mi16s.

What I did for my 505 was to make sure everything was lubed and adjusted properly (which I'm sure you've taken care of) and then I placed a fairly stout spring around the inner cable between the arm it attaches to and the bracket that holds the outer cable. I didn't even have to take the cable off, I just wound the sring around and around until it was in place! Now when I release the brake, even if the caliper is a bit sticky, the extra spring forces it open! Received on Sat Feb 16 18:48:19 2008
