After a rotor, pad, and caliper change, my brakes are stuck to the rotors and won’t release. Ideas?

Yep. Brand new OP and as usual first post asks for help with virtually no info to work with. Can't be bothered to respond and provided enough info. It is why I now respond on so few of these 1st post questions. Almost makes me wonder if these aren't Bot posts.
From what I can tell, the fronts. Maybe even just the front left.All your rotors wont release, all 4?
Thanks for your comment. Have a great day.Yep. Brand new OP and as usual first post asks for help with virtually no info to work with. Can't be bothered to respond and provided enough info.

I gave you a very good response earlier, see post #9. You have yet to answer any of the questions I asked you. Based on your last answer we have gone from 4 locked on, to maybe just fronts, to maybe just left front and no indication of how locked or is it just dragging some. The answers to those questions dramatically affects what needs to be looked at. Without those answers, how do you expect us to provide quality recommendations?Thanks for your comment. Have a great day.
You need to verify, in neutral with no ebrake lift one tire at a time and try and spin, they all should spin freely. If only one is stuck something is likely wrong with the caliper. Did the person who changed the break pad use a caliper tool or something else to pull the piston back? The piston in caliper can be stuck or cocked. I'd take the caliper off the rotor and push brake pedal a couple times and let the piston come down, then use a caliper tool to bring piston all the way back. might need to replace caliper, I did mine for 40 bucks a couple years ago, amazon sells a brand "something" concepts no core needed and cheap, it has worked since.From what I can tell, the fronts. Maybe even just the front left.
