I replaced both front calipers bout two months ago and the passenger side caliper is locked up. I check the brake hoses and they are great condition. I was wanting to know would it be the caliper defect but seems the driver side might be doing the same. They are rebuilt ford calipers.

A collapsed hose will allow the fluid to pass to the caliper but will not release
Pump brakes and check if caliper holding the rotor
Open bleeder dose it release and rotor turn
Hose need to be replaced
