I have replaced the rotor, the caliper and the brake pads and for some reason it is constantly braking on the back right wheel, i bled the brakes and refilled them, so it stops really well, but for some reason it is still grabbing the rotor, any one know anything about this, please help.

Replace the caliper you must before drive again you do.

Also, might as well get some good fluid and flush everthing through since you have to bleed the brakes at that time.

On my CQ, the cam on the caliper that the parking brake cable attaches to was rusty.

If you take out the small bolt that the spring hooks onto, you can pull the cam out about 1/2 inch. This should give you enough room to buff the rust off. Add a bunch of waterproof grease around the shaft of the cam.

Also, you may want to search the board - one of the guys managed to add a helper spring onto the end of the parking brake cable. I have not done this, but the idea seems sound.

Another thing one of the board members suggested was to use this opportunity to completely flush the brake fluid out. Suck out the old stuff with a turkey baster, clean the gunk out of the resevoir, then use Super Blue brake fluid. That way, you can tell when you've pushed the old amber fluid all the way out through the bleeders. This helped my peddle feel a bunch. I'm thinking I had 13 year old fluid in my car.
