Re: locking up.
What do you mean...sticking? You'll have to give us more information than that. Otherwise, change the calipers, change the master, bleed the brakes and you should be good to go.

Re: locking up.
Sorry. Last year the driver side front caliper locked up and was dragging. When I'd brake it would pull to that side. I replaced that caliper and things seemed fine. (Stopping streight) Last weekend was the first time I had it out and the pedal is hard and the brakes are sticking when they get hot and letting loose after they cool down.

Re: locking up.
I had the same problem with my 92 gta. I jacked up the front wheels and had someone press the brake. With there foot off the brake try to rotate the wheel. If the wheel doesn't turn crack the bleeder on the caliper. If the wheel turns freely it is probably the rubber line between the caliper and the metal line or the proportion valve. IF it doesn't turn it is probably the caliper.
