Changed the master cylinder and changed a brakeline. Now I have no brakes at all. I hear a leak from the new line at the fitting I think. And I can't get the driver front bleeder valve to open to bleed. Would that cause me to have no brakes at all?

Welcome to 2CarPros.

If you aren't able to bleed that, most likely the system has a lot of air in it and is causing the problem and if there is a leak, it needs fixed.

Confirm there is no leak or it is repaired. Then we have two choices, replace the caliper with the stuck bleeder, or work at getting it opened.

When I have one that won't open, I first take a wire brush all around it to remove any corrosion, dirt, rust. Then spray it with a good penetrating oil and let it work at it. See if that helps.

Let me know.
