Icon2 1995 prelude brakes binding :(

Has anyone cone across any issues with the brakes binding on a 4th gen prelude? I've just started getting a squealing noise coming from my brakes, at least that what it sounds like, I've got a 2.2 non vtec jap import, discs all round, is it an easy job to take the calipers off and clean them up? I'd say I'm fairly mechanically minded and do a lot of work on my cars myself so, hoping it's nothing expensive or badly wrong with them....

Have you taken the wheels off to inspect? Brake pads have "squealers" to let you know when they are getting low.
If they are binding like your title states, then you could have rust pinched flex hoses, or seized slider pins.

Don't use anti seize on the pins. Use proper lube. Anti seize gunks up over time.
