Caliper not releasing

[Fred A]

If you have replaced the hose, not likely the issue.
If the caliper is locked, does just opening the bleeder help? If not, the recurring problem is mechanical.

No, opening the bleeder does not help.i disconnected the line at the master cylinder still not releasing. Think the new caliper is defective?

You have done the test for a locked caliper, popping the bleed screw releases pressure to the system and eliminates a bad brake hose or brake line as the cause of the lock up. There is a problem with the internals of the caliper.
