brake problem
I just changed out the rotors on my 90 f350 4x4. and now about a week later i noticed it is pulling to the right when i hit the brakes. so today i jacked it up and noticed the right wheel feels like the caliper wont retract as much making it hard to turn the wheel over. i replaced this caliper about 2 years ago b/c it did the same thing. could it be a bad caliper or is there something else that might be going on that's causing this?
Thanks.
Thanks.

When you replaced your caliper, did you flush out the entire brake system?
20+ year old brake fluid can cause problems in brand new parts as well.
But yes, rebuild quality doesn't really exist anymore.

Another possibility is a bad flex hose at that wheel. I've not had it myself, but I've read about several people who had a collapsed flex hose that wouldn't release pressure from the caliper... You can find this if you get the problem to happen, and loosen the hose at the caliper. If the hose is the problem, the caliper will release...
