I was putting new front brake pads on my sons truck. The left front caliper was bad and I put on a new one. After I bleed the front brakes the old caliper on the right front and the brand new caliper I installed will not release after use. I have to let the pressure off of them from the bleeder fitting just to get the rotor to turn. I was hoping you could help with this problem. Thanks, jeff

If opening the bleeder release the pressure
suspect and replace caliper hoses
