brake pads not releasing

more brake fun on my kawi 77 kz1000. the pads are just getting tighter on my disk like a vise grip, but never letting up when i let up off the brake. bleed them and then what?

ps i had wbs do my brakes last fall and i havent ridden it since. they changed brake fluid...possible a particle got kicked up and is blocking a release point?

take the caliper apart and clean/lube it

the master cylinder could be having problems too... piston siezed or some dirt gumming up the return holes.

a little closure...i had to pull the brake line off to release the calipers. when i did so i got old nasty green fluid. after a consult with the guys at wbs, it sounds like a bad brake line...
