I guess i cant win. I just changed my rear brake calipers for some new referbs
and the rear left is still locking up. the guy at advanced auto parts told me it might be the porportioning value or something. what is my next step????

 

Flush all brake lines with new fluid (just for the hell of it!)

Check the parking brake to make sure it resets when disengaged...

I had a rubber brake line fail to where it was ballooned inside. it would push the piston but then not release the pressure. This was on the "heep" but I am pretty sure it could happen on any car.

If the wheel is still locked up you undid the brakeline fron the caliper end and it freed up then try pumping it up again and undoing the other end of the line. If it is still locked up you can be sure it is the line.

I hope I explained that adequately. You are trying to find out if the hose is blocking the release of pressure.
