I will speak from experience. I froze a set of rear calipers, did the fluid and caliper change.

Then froze them again.

I changed my brake master cylinder. The 240sx has an integrated proportioning valve / master cylinder. I know that my rear piston failed and did not pull back when pressure was released of the pedal.

Changing the brake master cylinder was my solution. Now I have too many rear calipers in my house and rotors that are beat to ****. They are all being given to friends that need them and I am moving on to a whole new system.

Good luck.
