Re: Brake Seized

this was 7 months ago. first thing I did was replace the caliper but this was not the problem.

It was corrosion. The corrosion causes "hardening of the arteries" leaving enough space for brake fluid to pass through when under pressure of the pedal, but not enough space to allow the fluid to naturally return, which held the caliper closed.

Changing out the eroded line fixed it.
