Default 1990 L/s Front Caliper Problem

Pulling wheels off i noticed L/s Front severe wheel drag. I just bought this car. L/s pads down to backing plate R/s Like new. I opened L/s bleeder and could rotate the rotor by hand. I thought maybe it was the flex hose as i have changed some for the same problem. I changed it. Still the same. Press the brake pedal and you need to use a large screw driver across the lugs to rotate the rotor. open the bleeder and you can rotate by hand. Fluid comes out with some force when its sitting without touching pedal. Could the antilock system do this?? Anyone have any ideas.
