my brake feel has worsened rapidly over the last few weeks. to the point that i wont even drive the car, which sucks. i tried to bleed my brakes and the backs bled fine. but the front passenger side caliper is locked up. i removed the bleeder all the way, and no fluid. so, i loosened the brake line first at the metal line and then at the caliper and it had fluid in it. i could get it to bleed through the metal line fine it would just not move through the caliper. is there a way to remedy this? or do i need a new caliper?

Sounds like the piston is frozen in the caliper. You can either rebuild that caliper, or (better) get a replacement and rebuild/use that one. Once the piston is frozen, it's probably not worth keeping the caliper. -
