front calipers on my bike locks up when riding about 5 miles ... brake lever is hard as a rock and then bike comes to a complete stop, the only way i can get the bike to move is open the bleeder screw on the caliper and pry back the pads.... have any idea what it could be ? " calipers or brake line ? or master?

u need to CLEAN everything. Take all fitting loose and drain calipers. (before draining anything take calipers off forks and pump them till the pads touch eachother) Sqeeze pads apart and pump all the brake fluid out. Drain master and lines and re bleed whole system.
