With front brakes if your caliper piston goes back in EASILY with the bleed valve open you eather have a bad brake line or your master cylinder is at fault. I have seen brake lines allow flow of fluid one way but not allow it the other way. I would loosen the brake line conection on the master cylinder and slowly try compressing the caliper. Make sure you dont get brake fluid on your paint it will ruin the paint job. if you have good flow here, clean your master cylinder or rebuild it.
