Default New to this...need help on my 1990 ef hatchback

Okay, I have a 1990. Honda Civic hatchback I have replaced everything break Wise from booster. Master cylinder calipers shoes everything but brake lines. Due to no fluid leaks. Driver side is still locking up. And not wanting it to release. Any advice on what I should do or how to Go about fixing this problem.
Thank you in advance.

try taking the caliper off and using compressed air to blast out the piston. After it is out use feel the inside for any scoring or imperfections around the piston or inside the slot in the caliper. something as small can cause the piston to stop moving. go over it with some fine sand paper and then put some brake fluid in and test out the process by moving the piston inside of the caliper. if it all looks good then reassemble.
