Brake calipers sticking?
I’m at my wit’s end. I’ve already replaced the calipers twice, brake hoses, and rear drum brakes have been adjusted. What could be wrong? The truck sat for awhile, and my mechanic has been “guessing his way” through things. I just want her running properly. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you so much.

In the two front wheels. The rear wheels are fine. The problem was first noted when I leaned against my wheel, and burned my hand on the rim. The calipers were so stuck, I had to use a pry bar to remove them. They were changed out today, same problem. I literally have to pull on the pedal to alleviate the problem, but it doesn’t work all the time.

That's where it pushes the rod for the master cylinder. The pivot pin that the pedal hangs from is further up. Unhook the rod in the picture and see if the pedal swings freely. If it does, your master cylinder is probably sticking and needs replacement.
