I changed the brakes on my trailblazer and now the right front is sticking. I have bleed them out 3 or 4 times to no avail. I also changed the calbier and that didn't help either. What could be the problem?

Hello,

Many times, you will have sticking brake/caliper due to a collapsed brake hose to that caliper.
Overtime those brake hoses can deteriorate inside and collapse, which makes the fluid difficult to retreat when you release the pedal. Leading to a sticky brake/caliper.
It might bleed okay, but it will not allow the fluid to travel back as easily.
Keep in mind when you change the brake hose, you will have to change the crush washer for the hose in order to keep it from leaking.

I have attached the replacement procedure below.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
