[s-cars] Front Brake calipers not releasing.....Master Cylinder?

[Tom Green]

All symptoms point to the master cylinder, Jim.

You did not mention how you were bleeding the brakes.  Do you have a
power bleeder now?  If so, what kind?

I believe you are experienced at brake work, and fully understand this
question,but have you verified that the correct fluid is in each system?
