Default FML! replaced passenger side front hub and now my brake caliper is sticking

i just changed my front passenger side hub out this past weekend, i put the caliper on top of a toolbox underneath the car so it was not hanging. I did everything the exact same wen i change my brakes i never had a problem befor and my caliper is stuck as if someone is holding the brake pressed in around the rotor...i just took it back apart and hit it all with some brake cleaner...does anyone have suggestions??? my wheel will not spin

Default caliper sticking

May be that your fluid reservoir is over full, apparently that can cause the brakes to not release properly. Failing that, crack the bleed nipple to release pressure.
