Default 2007 ford focus front brakes sticking

My focus is having some issues with the front calipers sticking and the pedal is hard. I've had the brake booster, master cylinder and both calipers replaced, still sticking with a hard pedal. Any advice I could get or could someone tell me what the little things that are sticking off the right side of my master cylinder is? TIA

You may have a defective brake hose(s) having internal damage causing your problem. I would replace both..

We always ask, who did the work.
Apparently they overlooked something or didn't do a complete installation which could involve the gap between the booster and the brake master cyl. which if it doesn't allow the master cyl to completely release , could result in holding pressure in the brake lines.
When so many things have been replaced, we have to start at the beginning and verify each and every step until we get out to the calipers.

We should determine what was the original problem before all the other parts were replaced.

Wow man, this is by far the best brake sticking video I've found. The step by step process of elimination was so helpful and exactly what I needed.

If we only had a working crystal ball, we might have some idea of what info was required.
