brake seizing up

That's a possibility. Are your caliper and pad slides clean and caliper slides lubed up properly? With the pads out of the caliper, you should be able to slide the caliper back and forth easily.

This definitely sounds like a caliper slider issue. The caliper should slide freely on the slider and be lubricated properly. A bent caliper anchor could also cause an issue with caliper movement.

Vegas brought up a good point to check, but do it by hand and not by using the brake pedal!

check your lines. I actually had a guy tell me something similiar. Eventually he changed the rubber lines and the problem was in the lines.

Slider pins are clean and well lubed. I will pull the pads and check to see how easily the caliper moves. Thanks guys for all the help.

try to compress the caliper if it's tight, open the bleeder. if it goes easily when you open the bleeder, then it's a bad hose. it's a common issue, the hose gets a loose flap inside that blocks fluid return.

It does sound like a collapsed hose. Feel the hose. It should be firm and not rubbery. Bend it around, sometimes you can actually feel the collapsed section. If it seems fine from an external inspection it may still be bad and they are pretty inexpensive. The roughest part is doing a beelding again. JR

With those kind of miles buy 2 new front hoses, and replace and rebleed.
Now why would it be hard to bleed? if your fast enough you wont loose toomuch fluid and heck if it has new caliper all it takes is gravity bleeding.
BUT replace both at same time.
