I replaced the front caliper and got the air out of the line and I get a good hard pedal. However, soon as I go to move the car they go to the floor. I didn't have this problem until i changed the brake caliper. I replaced the caliper because when I went to replace the front brakes the piston was stuck.

Did you bleed the entire system or just the caliper that you replaced? If you did not do the entire system, we need to do that first.

Here are guides that will help with all of this:

I understand that you may have only opened one line but the chances are there is air in the system and we need to do this first since there was nothing else done that would cause this.

The only other thing would be the caliper is defective but let's bleed the system and retest this.

Let us know what you find. Thanks
