Default rear caliper

L.R. caliper is dragging even after replacing with a new one. Parking break is returning but the caliper isn't. Any ideas?

blows my mind......but wouldn't you think if your getting fluid to the caliper, the lines are ok? how does the rotor look? possible it could be warped..

there are no specs for that but it should squirt out about 2-3 inches or so.

You can always upgrade the flex lines with stainless steel braided lines, but also ensure the caliper slides move freely and are lubed properly. Plus check the pads that they are installed right and not unevenly worn, also ensure the rotor isn't warped...
