brake caliper need help!!!!!!!!!&#

[bart6180]

my right front caliper froze up, or so i thought, i replaced the caliper, went to bleed the system blew out a rear brake line in the process, replaced all brake line going to rear of the truck got everything bled, and now the new caliper is sticking/won't release, took the caliper off, piston pushes back in without a problem put it back on, bleed it again same thing, what could be going on???????

It's probably the (rubber) hose on the right front. The rubber hoses can "slough" off inside, and act like a check valve, holding pressure in the caliper. When you pull the caliper off, you move the hose around enough for it to release, then when you put it back on again, it happens again. Try a new hose.
