[QUOTE="BLACKJKU, post: 448394, member: 18221"] The way I always tested to see if it's the caliper or the hose that's bad is to do this. Push hard on the brake pedal and release with the rear jacked up and tire on. Then if it's locked release the bleeder and if the caliper releases it's the hose that's bad. If the caliper doesn't release it's the caliper, but it's usually a good idea if replacing the caliper to also replace the lines. A Mopar only part will be a new one, there are good quality remans out there also. [/QUOTE]
