Mine had one brake lock up when it went bad.

Check if it's only one caliper which is doing this.  If one wheel is
hotter than the rest, then it's likely you have a bad brake hose at that
wheel.

FWIW-I've never had any problems with calipers or masters I've rebuilt. 
It's not rocket science, it's changing simple seals.

BCNU,
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
