Right front brake
Hi all, first post in this section. I recently did a complete brake job on my 73 F250. Replaced m/c, pads, wheel cylinders, front calipers and some lines. Everything except proportioning valve. Bench bled m/c and complete system. Everything worked fine until the other day I was on a hill holding the brakes hard while my truck was being loaded with something. When I went to leave the right front was locked up. Would not move until I opened bleeder on rt front caliper and it then moved freely until I pressed on the brakes again with the same result.
Do you think its the caliper or the m/c? I did not replace the flex line to that caliper but not sure why that would matter. Thanks for any help.

Check the flex hose, they can go bad internally. They break up and can allow the fluid to flow one way and collapse and not allow it to release the pressure.
If it was the m/c it would affect both fronts not just one side.
