Brakes keep locking up!! Front passenger side.

Asked by KPeterson1517 May 03, 2018 at 07:05 PM about the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour EX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Three weeks ago my brakes became very smungy
(having to press the brake petal nearly to the floor)
Well we ordered a new master cylinder but it took a
week to come in so we had to still drive the car to
get to work. (Bad idea, I know) The master cylinder
comes in, we replace it and my brakes start locking
up on the front passenger side. After research (and
spit balling with a couple mechanics) we make the
decision to buy a new anti lock brake box. It came
in yesterday, we put it on and the brakes are STILL
locking up. Can anyone give me any ideas and to
what the problem might be? Thanks in advance for
your help.

Collapsed brake hose or frozen caliper piston. To check which one it is with vehicle front wheels jacked up and front passenger rotor is locked up loosen bleeder screw to caliper if rotor spins bad brake hose if stays locked up piston seized.
