Caliper won't release?

Got the ole man's S10 at my place for some tweaking while he builds me a core support. He's been having problems with the right front brake "dragging". He's blowed out the lines, replaced the flex line, and the caliper twice. First thing I notice is that it only hangs for about a quarter of a turn so I replace both rotors with new ones. Still tight on that side. Changed over to a manual master and associated parts since it needed it anyway and still the same thing. What gives? Bearings are new in the rotors also.

make sure there is about 1/8 of an inch of free play in both directions on the brake pedal, i had a similar problem on my car and it was because the brake light switch wasnt letting the pedal release all the way.
