booster replaced...calipers stuck

I just replace my brake booster and my front calipers seem to be stuck partially closed. I bled the brakes and the master cylinder is also brand new. HALP

make sure the the pushrod that connect to pedal is adjusted right. it could be pushing on master cyl not allowing fluid to release. the pin should slip through easy

make sure the check valve on the vacuum line is facing the right way, if by chance you connected it backwards it will make your brakes lock up
