Please help!!!!!! ASAP!!

The front drivers side brake on my 89 iroc is locked up. I replaced the calipers and break pads yesterday, bled the brakes and it still won't release. Now, if I can get the car to move it pulls hard to the right like i have the steering wheel turned all the way to the right.

all of the third gen's came stock with a floating caliper, check to see if the caliper is seized on the rods it slides on.

Chances are the brake line is bad. For some reason the brake line swells (or collapses depending who you hear it from) and severly restricts the brake fluid in the line from returning keeping pressure on the caliper. Usually it will drain back (like overnight) and will be fine for a short while until the pressure builds again locking the brake back up. Hope that helps
