1987 Pontiac firebird front left caliper keeps freezing even though it is new.?

i have replaced the front left caliper myself and blead the brakes but it continues to not bleed fluid and wont bleed at all unless car is turned on but the front left i replaced and it works just fine.
the caliper has been returned and replaced and it is the right size bc i do not have to force it on at first but when we begin to bleed the brakes it then becomes frozen.

i would go to the store and get another.. maybee you got the wrong size.. to be shure.. a new caliper should fall down over the pads.. no resistance.. if you have to force it the pads or the caliper are the wrong size.... if you dont correct this. you could be thrown to the left into incoming traffic.. ok.

did you replace the flex lines going to the caliper? if not they could be broken inside. replace those and see if that doen't help
