    62 buick special. Brakes locked

    Good day mates, I recently aquired a 62 buick special. As i was driving home the front driver side brake locked up. It slowly locked decreasing speed. Left the car to see if it would bleed down. Sure enough it did. I am currently over seas and not with the car but would like to order parts to repair for when i arrive home. Could anyone provide some ideas on the problem? Perhaps the master cylinder? Thanks a bunch.

    Replace all flexible brake hoses first. Old ones can break down internally and form a sort of check valve that allows pressure to a wheel cylinder, but resists relieving the pressure. Also be sure there are no hot exhaust components close to a brake line.
