need help with brakes.
My 97 f150 had been sitting for a while and after driving it a few miles I could smell hot brakes and the left front rotor was very hot. So I pulled the caliper to see if I could free it up. With a C clamp I can compress 1 piston and the other one comes out and visa-verse but I cannot push both in at the same time using 2 C clamps. When I push the brake pedal both pistons extend but will not push back in together. Its acting like theirs a check valve in the line. How should I go about trouble shooting? thanks.

The flex hose could be restricted and not allowing fluid to return to the master cylinder.
You can try cracking the bleeder and see if it will return. If so the hose should be replaced.
