Front disc brakes locking up, 72 Duster

REPLACE the phenolic caliper pistons with steel or a hybrid phenolic with metal. Phenolics are ok when used regularly but they absorb moisture that increases the diameter and expands when the pistons get hot. The moisture cannot easily escape quick enough to prevent piston expansion. This has been a problem for all the domestic mfgs, especially RVs that sit for long periods.
Good point; but if his pistons were seizing, cracking the bleeder or hose open wouldn't release them like the OP says they do- they'd still be stuck until they cool down.
