HELP?? Caliper wont release! Sorry for the off Vehicle question but this is on my beater/daily driver. The ABS light is on. (Just bought this truck) it's a 92 Bravada (blazer basicaly) But the drivers caliper wont let go(drags). I can push the pedal and the caliper will push the piston BUT it wont let go unless i open the blead valve and squeeze it. Any suggestions PLEASE?

Re: HELP?? Caliper wont release! It may be full of dirt and have a restriction in the caliper, or more likley a rock has dented a steel brake line and there is enough pressure to extend the caliper but not enough force to retract it. It could just be a caliper that needs rebuilt or replaced, but I'd look at the lines first. (or a bad valve in the abs unit....we could go on for a while, but those are my best guesses).
Hope this helps....
