i just finished changing my front disc brakes, new rotors and a new caliper on passenger side, but for some reason my brakes are engaged and won't let go. i have bled the lines and still they won't move. what can i do?

if it just the one side the brake are locking up it's the brake line replace it from the caliper the rubber in the line get old and brake off inside the line so it work as a check valve other than that with out looking at it that all i can tell you at this time yes try replaceing yout brake line

check the caliper slides and see if they are moving freely. lube them well. also did the caliper piston go back in smoothly when you put the pads on? if it was really hard to get back in, you may have a bad caliper or the brake hose may be restricted. the hoses swell from the inside out when they deteriorate and its hard to detect from looking at the outside.

2003, on the Rubicons only. they're nicely-known on all on the JK's. As for compatability, TJ axles could bolt desirable up. in case you're in a savage backyard and are available across a wrecked Rubicon grab the two axles. they're Dana 40 4's and have 4.10 gears and air lockers from the production facility

Master cylinder pressure release valve stuck?
Wrong caliper. Too big and rubbing on the inside of the wheel?
Rotors on backwards?

i own a shop,and its very possible that one or more of the pads might be on wrong,or there binding,id check to see if the caliper is sticking on it,that's what causes it most of the time,also dirt in the caliper will do this,if they wasn't sticking before ,first thing is to check the pads,and go from there,good luck with it.
