sticking brakes 700 1990

Hi all, this is an extension of a previous post in that when the brakes are hot and i leave my foot on the brake pedal, such as at a set of traffic lights, the right caliper jams on. I have had the caliper rebuilt with new pistons, replaced the brake hose and well lubricated the pins, the pads are new. To my dissappointment the problem remains. I drove the car again today and when the brakes jamed on i put the car in reverse and i think,only think, the brakes released. I will test this tomorrow. Would have checked at the time but was looking for my 12yr old son who had dissappeared and has since reappeared. More grey hairs. Did get new pins also but they were the wrong ones. I feel in my bones that it is a caliper pin issue. I cant supply any history of the car as it is a recent purchase which i bought from a little old lady, the car having a dead fuel pump at the time. So could it be an abs problem that i am having? Any one out there had a similar problem or can enlighten me further. Thanks in advance again. David
