RIGHT CALIPER LOCKING PARTIALLY DAN 8-23-07  
I replaced my front rotors, calipers, and brake pads last week. I did this because my right front caliper had been locking up and releasing for a month causing nothing but frustration. Now, I have the same problem again. The right front caliper will lock up when it feels like it without a known reason, staying that way making it very difficult to maintain posted speeds because my brakes are on! When I get up the next morning everything is fine again. Letting it sit for a while seems to allow the caliper to back off.

What could be causing this, and how would you go about fixing it?

Thank you in advance
for any replies-Dan

I had the very same problem with my winne 93, P-30. I replaced everything except th rubber hoses AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM They will act like a check valve because the interior wall collapses. Replace the rubber brake lines...frank
