brakes were dragging on left side when applying brakes so I installed new calipers and new pads, bled brakes totally, all new fluid with no air bubbles, brakes are now grabbing hard left and won't release from rotor causing brake to really heat up. what can i do to fix this problem?

if you have done that and it still locks up check your hoses as they get bad and cause a problem like you describe.
