Default 03 Rancher front wheel locks up

I have an 03 Rancher 4 X 4 with a Warn Unlocker. The front left wheel locks up every now and then and then free's up. What could cause this. I replaced the bearings about 100 miles a go and it had been fine until this past weekend. What could cause this to happen ?

Never, I have owned it since it was new. I have replaced the bearings before and never had a problem.

Front brakes acting up? Maybe you have something stuck behind a pad or shoe?

When you did the bearing, you didnt happen to twist the brake hose when reassembling did you? If you did, it could be pinched, when you apply the brakes the presssure stays in the wheeel cylinder longer.

The break hose is fine. It locks up randomly with out putting on the breaks
