I started driving this truck about a year ago & it pulled to the left when braking. I figured it needed new pads so about three months ago I changed the pads. The driver side went well but when I went to push the brake piston in on the passenger side, it was very hard. I changed the pads and it seeemed a little better however later it started to stick or after braking it would pull to the right as though the passenger side brake was sticking. I bought a new caliper thinking the piston was stuck, and replaced the passenger side. The pads were worn very much. I didn't have new pads so I put it back together and it did the same thing-pulling to the right! So this weekend I bought new pads and a master cylinder as well and replaced the pads on both sides and the master cylinder. It was still hard to press the piston on the passnger side without opening the bleeder. I've never had a brake caliper that wouldn't press in. Is there a check valve in there somewhere? The lines to the front brakes come from the master cylinder, through a block, then to a "T", then to each brake. I have clean fluid in there and I can't figure this out. I just got off the road and my brakes were puling hard to the right and I could smell my brakes. Please help me on this! Thanks
