Post Front Brakes stay on.

Hi, My 78 3/4 front brakes will stay on afater you release the pedal. I thought the calipers were seized but if you open the bleeder you can move the pistons back in quite easily. Everything moves easily (caliper slides on brackets). You should be able to push the pistons back in without opening the bleeders right? A guy at work said that maybe the hoses were collapsing internally but I dont know. When you apply the brakes the right front caliper will get stuck on hard enough that you cannot turn the wheel by hand. Sound like its the hoses? Or can the master get clogged so that the fluid wont return? I need help here guys. thanks. CoryM
