When I first got #7024 I had similar symptons on one front wheel, but fortunately without complete lock up. On stripping the caliper I found the piston partially seized/rusted in the caliper and hence the brake pad was continually binding. It prompted me to go through the whole brake system, refresh the calipers and use new brake fluid.
