Ok, so about a week ago my right rear caliper seized up. So I got another caliper replaced it, and just yesterday I realized that my right rear caliper was sticking after about 10 minutes of driving. It is all fine until about 10 minutes after I start driving. I just bled the brakes today, and about 10 minutes into the drive it did the same thing. Does anybody know what would cause this? It was perfectly fine for about a week after being replaced.

It could be the e-brake assembly (Don't really know what to call it) sticking. Thats whats happening to mine, even though she doesn't move.

I'm pretty sure it's not that though, because wouldn't it do it all the time if it was the e-brake? Mine does it about 10 minutes into the drive.

i have this same problem, it doesn't get stuck but it does bind some and its always hotter then the other brakes.

Can you feel your car go slower? Like with mine once it starts to stick, I can feel it slow the car down a little. It's not a tremendous amount of dragging, but it's enough to piss me off.

Thanks for the response, so how do I disconnect the hose from the hardline? Do I just undo the nut on the hardline, and undo the clip on the hose?
