Brake Help

[Kneale Brownson]

Can't see how the "bomb" would contribute to the front calipers staying 
locked.  Master Cylinder makes much more likely source of the freezing 
up.   If you want to check, get the engine compartment and the MC good and 
hot and then brake until your front calipers won't let go.  Then open the 
hood and spray a little cold water on the MC.  Bet the brakes let loose 
after that.
