Hi Joseph,

My recent experience was that the caliper was fine, but that the hose  
was bad - brake locked up fine, but stayed that way since the hose  
would not allow bleed back to the master.

Not saying a rebuild isn't a good idea in your case, just that in my  
case a bit of caliper grease and a new hose solved the problem.
