1990 Cadillac Deville Brake Problem

I'm having a problem with the brake on the front driver side. The brake is dragging and sometimes not releasing. I have replaced the Callaper, Rotor, and Pads. The passanger front side is working fine. I have flushed the system, just thinking there might be some trash in the line and it is still doing the same thing only on the front driver side. Any info will help. Thanks James

Check the rubber brake line to the caliper. If it is degraded internally it can act a a check valve, holding pressure on the caliper.

Good info, DF. When this happens crack the caliper bleeder, if pressure releases it usually is the hose.

Thanks Guy's. I will check this out. The hose looks good on the outside, but I will pull it off and check the inside. Never thought of this. Thanks agian
