Well, personally, I'd replace the other caliper since they both probably had
junk in them. One of those things that if one went bad, the other can't be
far behind since they are the same design. And when I did mine, I actually
bled the old fluid out of the lines before connecting the banjo bolts to the
new caliper to flush the lines and prevent any old dirt from getting into
the new caliper.

Subject: DML: Brake Problem Update
I got the new pads and rotors this week. I figured I would drive it a couple
more days with the roasted rotor and pads to make sure everything was ok
now.
Everything was going well until today when I was driving I felt that strange
sluggish feeling and steering wheel pull and extra hard pedal. This time
it's
the passenger side that is hanging, that side was smoking just like the
drivers
side.
So now where am I at, replace the passenger side caliper it the original,
probably prudent since it got pretty hot. After that you think maybe I just
need to flush the system down more, or maybe it's the master cylinder?
