Hi all.  Thanks for the help.  Once again I am in awe of the collective
knowledge here.

When I loosened the bleeder screw on the locking caliper I was able to
rotate the tire.  I am able to reproduce the lock-up and release via the
bleeder, so it looks like it is the flex line that is causing the problem.
Now I just have to find two of them locally.


Thanks again.

Kevin
