Re: 1996 Astro front brake won't release
I've seen this 3 times on my cars -- replace the rubber hose from caliper to the frame---they get laminated inside and act as a check valve- allowing only flow in one direction- and causing the caliper not to release- the test is to get it where it is locked up-- then crack open the bleeder- and see if it immediately releases- if so the hose is bad-- the metal lines can't be a problem- unless you have pinched one shut somehow.............
