I have just replaced the calipers on front brakes. Now the front right brake locks up when pedel is depressed. Brakes have been bled and all seemed well but. Car has sat for six months and I just purchased it three weeks ago.

Maybe flex brake line ruptured inside blocking fluid pressue to caliper. Pump brake when caliper is frozen open bleeder if there is pressue and rotor turns then flex line needs to be replaced.
