When was the last time the brake fluid was flushed?

After years of old fluid rust will form between the piston and the bore and the piston sticks. If is fairly easy to fix if its done before the piston siezes in the bore. Sometimes just moving the piston in and out a few times will clear up the problem but to do it right the piston should be removed and cleaned up.
