Stumped By Brakes

[Prdbyford1]

My front calipers keep locking on me to the point where you cannot turn them by hand. I have tried new calipers and soft lines to no avail. The sliders/pins are good as well. I have bled them well and they still will not release. The only thing I can think of is something is up with the master cylinder that it will not release the pressure. Never seen anything like this before. Any ideas? Thanks.

Brake hoses can start to deteriorate and then you get like a little "flap" of the hose that will block flow of brake fluid back to the master cylinder after brake pedal application

Thanks for the reply Duff. That's what I thought to. I originally had braided stainless steel lines on the car. went and picked up a pair of rubber ones just to test my theory. That didn't work either. The weird thing is they are both locked up.

so yo ucould have an issues with the mastercylinder, have yo utried to bleed them, do you get any fluid out?

you can bleed the master cylinder too. pump up tlhe pedal and losin the nut till it bleeds, lit it bleed slow though dont want to make it worse, by not having brakes
