swOOpy, there shouldn't be a BIG difference between the two wheels when you rotate them. You're right about it being a little different if one is a bit tighter when first put on. I'd think that would even out after bleeding though. Make sure you don't have a caliper piston hanging up.

You don't have the hub locked on that side ? It's just the drag of the brakes? Tight wheel bearings can do it as well. Just trying to cover the bases.

It definitely shouldn't pull to that side during a test drive.

Anyway, good job going for it with your own repairs. I hope it turns out well.
Thanks! So I ended up getting new calipers. I'm gonna get a rebuild kit and rebuild the original ones at some point. Once I installed the new ones the wheel rotated freely and felt way better on both sides.

Unfortunately the truck still drives like s*** lol. When I bought it it pulled super hard right and felt shaky over 50mph. I was hoping new wheel bearings would solve some of that, but not really (tire pressure good on all sides). I'm thinking it's misaligned. But at least I'm not leaking oil down my front tires any more!!
