Replace my rear caliper about 5 months ago as was seized. Now it's starting to seize again. Anyone else have this problem or suggest anything else that could be causing it?

Firstly, they're brakes. [emoji6]

Secondly, was it definitely a seized piston on the other caliper? It could be a seized slider stopping the brake pressure releasing again. Or even pads tight in the carrier.

I'd take it apart and have a butchers and go from there.
