Brakes

I have a 1993 chevy g-20 van with 130,000. the left front caliper stays compressed causing the van to pull to the left. when i step on the brake the van pulls to the right extreemly hard, which tells me there is no pressure going into or out of the caliper. i have changed the caliper and the master cylinder but no change. i did notice the abs wheel sensor wire was rubbing on the tire but the wire is not broken.

if i jack up that side of the van the wheel is very hard to spin by hand. if i loosen the bleeder valve it releases the pressure and i can spin it and it will spin on its own. i will try changing the hose. could it be the proportioning valve? the abs light is on as well. the hose is cheeper, i'll try that first.
thank you
