    Were new pads fitted?
    If the pads are too tight in the caliper, they can jam on.

    On older systems, dirt present in the system can cause blockages after fluid change, if it is not done thoughtfully.
    This is especially true after the "reverse bleed" technique, which is a really bad idea if the system has not been fully cleansed.
