The right front caliper piston does not disengage.
It burned a set of pads very quickly. I replaced the pads, I turned the rotor, installed a remanf. caliper to no avail. replaced the rubber brake line, problem remains. after a test drive I raised the right front and find the wheel is impossible to rotate by hand and has a strong burning odor. where do I go from here?

Check the brake master cylinder the fluid might not be going back into it due to blockage.

Check the fluid in the master for oil contamination, put some in a cp of water and swirl it, should turn milky white, with no oil beads floating in it. If thats OK check your left rear brake, if there is a problem in back, the combination valve may have put al the pressure up front. Then check the master cylinder compensating port, step on the brake, then release it, you should get s bit of turbulence in the reservoir, if thats good change the combination valve.... :twisted:
