Rear Rught Brake Caliper Hanging UP

[Boba Debt]

I have a 1997 Continental with 150k on it.

Recently the right rear caliper started to hang up, it doesn't fully release.

Is this problem in the rear assembly, the master cylinder or something else?


Thanks

I've heard of this before.. the problem turned out to be a new installation where the screw-in pistons weren't properly adjusted. I don't have the specs handy, but the caliper pistons need to be set the proper distance on installation.

If were talking about 1997 (ten yr old) calipers, then may need replacing. I can't imagine the master cyinder holding pressure to just one rear caliper.
