Default Baffled HELP! BRAKE DRAG

I replaced rear brake lines, rear brake pads, rear calipers, rear caliper hoses, and the master cylinder.....and my rear calipers are making my brake pads stick. Once the brake pedal is pushed after putting on new caliper it just stays pushed out. Fluid comes out of bleeder screws fine. But the caliper will not decompress unless I manually do it....help!

Is this happening to both of the rear calipers? Are they decent rebuilds or the bottom $$ kind.

Yes both rear calipers. And I am not really sure. I got them both at Auto Zone.

Both would lead me to believe the issue is with the Master Cylinder. So maybe check the lines and make sure they are connected correctly not reversed also no lines are kinked.
You may need to bench test the M.C. or return it for another.
If you still have the old one put it back on and see if that one works, but it was probably a core return.

No lines are kinked. I just changed the master cylinder yesterday and bench bleed that crap out of it. I've bled the whole car...

Also we did one line at a time so we couldn't mess it up. :/
