It's pretty simple. Either a brake hose is kinked so the brake fluid can't
get out of the caliper, or the caliper rebuild is no good.
1. Look at the brake hose on that side. If it's OK, go to step 2.
2. Remove the caliper and rebuild again.
You can very easily get the piston angled or have a seal out of place and
not notice.
