Re: (96 Infiniti I30T) One brake seized, then the next after work - ?
By "seized" did it fail to release when you removed your foot from the brake pedal, or did it fail to apply the pads to the rotor? Your car is old enough that if the rubber brake hoses have never been replaced they could be deteriorated and acting as a 1-way valve. So instead of the caliper actually being the part that's failing, it's the brake hose. A collapsed brake hose will not necessarily be visible from looking at it.
If you have a caliper that appears seized and is difficult to compress, try opening the bleeder screw or removing the brake hose and see if it will easily compress with the fluid connection open. If so, the caliper is not what's seized. The issue is in the fluid delivery at that point.
This wouldn't necessarily explain why your issue seems to be going from one wheel to another other than you could have (at least) two hoses that are having issues and you previously only discovered the worst wheel. Does your 1996 I30 have 4 wheel ABS?
