Default '06 Vue 3.5L FWD - RF caliper locked up

I thought the RF caliper was loced up so I bought a new one that came with a new mounting bracket and hardware. i also bought a new rotot and brake pads and replaced everything. I bled the new caliper with a manual bleeder kit and asssembled everything correctly. When I apply the brakes the new caliper will not release. this is the same problem the previous caliper had. Is there possibly something wrong with the master cylinder, power brake module, lines...? I have replaced the wheel bearing on this corner of the this vehicle 3 times. Each time I have need a press to get the bearing out. Could i have possible bent the aluminum spindle housing causing the brakes to bind? this thing is dirving me crazy and i am about to take a hammer after it!!! any help would be very much apprecaited.

I have seen posts that the hoses fail on these cars and won’t let the fluid return. Open the bleeder and see if you have trapped pressure.

No need to double post. Odds are that it's a collapsed rubber brake hose. Apparently that's a weak spot on the Vues?
