rear brake question. no not about changing pads.

[Bluto]

Once and awhile, usually when the weather warms up, and its very damp outside. My right rear caliper doesn't always want to release.

Then all the sudden it will work fine.

Any suggestions as to what this could be?

My only thought is maybe I have a small amount of air in the line.

I did change the calliper two weeks ago, but it has done this on and off since I have owned the car.
-Thanks

It is either 1) binding caliper, 2) sticking e-brake cable, or 3) restriction in the brake hydraulic line that is keeping fluid from flowing back towards the MC when the pedal is released.

Steve,
I thougth of the e-brake, but I never engage it.

This is my second calliper replacement caliper, and it works well 99% of then time.

What kind of restriction could be in the line? The ABS accumulator?
Thanks
