Re: siezed?
Did you change the caliper bolts when you changed the caliper? A bent bolt would cause the caliper to hang up. I would think a clogged or kinked line would make the brakes not work vs keeping it locked up.

Re: siezed?
Replacing a ine isn't that bad, bleeding the brakes will be the pain. I've never seen a line cause a seized caliper but anything's possible. I've heard of the master cylinder rod hanging up and siezing brakes but I would think that would effect all four corners, not just one caliper

thanks guys! :tup: ill try and get it up in the air and bleed it or just replace it. quick other question: so the soft line connects somewhere and is a seperate part from the hard line?

Re: siezed?
Your soft line attaches on the frame and the caliper. It's only like 8 in or so and you may want to consider a nice set of Russells braided lines in place of the stocker stuff. Much better quality and will last alot longer.

Re: siezed?
Yes I would use line wrenchs but make sure you clean everything really good and spray penetrating oil on everything before you attempt to take anything apart.

Re: siezed?
pb blaster is pretty good, my favorite is the CRC Freeze Off. works wonders. but if i recall the PO said it sat for a long time so sounds like thats the issue.
