Left front caliper sticks after having a brake line break. fixed brake line and then caliper stuck so replaced caliper. did not solve problem so replaced brake hose. no luck. still sticks until you bleed brake and then caliper releases but when you press brake pedal it sticks again. any ideas? 93 mercury villager

either the booster is bad or your proportioning valve is bad switch these out and repeat the bleeding proccess this should solve the problem

Did u bleed the master cylinder before u installed it? If not, you'll have to also bleed the rear brakes. starting w/ the bleeder the farthest away, to next greatest distance,etc til u get to the closest bleeder.
If u did bleed the master cyl. before installation, I'm wondering if u did the following:
have someone pump the brakes (3 times, don't mash the pedal to the floor, just gentle push no more than half way down 3 times, while holding pedal half way down 3rd pump, open bleeder, when fluid or air slows coming out, close bleeder, and repeat, until only clean fluid flows. And of course, don't let the fluid get too low in the master cyl, or you will **** in air and have to start all over. Let me know how you do. countrycurt0

Sounds like you still have air in your brake lines. Make sure all your brake lines are tight. Then bleed again. Bleed the trouble side first, meaning right side, then go to front left, back left then back right, make sure that your brake fluid is also full

well your brake porportion valve is not working right oh well good luck

Be sure you have changed the break oil completely. Otherwise drain the hydraulic system and renew with correct type of oil. If you have a ABS system you have to check that also.
