[T3] Brakes


So my brakes on the right hand side are too tight. Either the caliper is
stuck or there's something wrong with the flex hose or bleeder valve.
My left wheel rotates freely. Moderate friction on the right one.

I turned the bleeder valve on both sides: on the left, the brake fluid
started immediately flowing freely. On the right, it flowed, but slower.
More like a steady trickle.

So the question is: what's the next step? I imagine I've been driving this
way for some time. I noticed it in the summer when I changed the brake
shoes, but the disk isn't bad off. Who knows how long it's been going on.

If I have to fix the hose, which looks good from the outside by the way, I
presume that means I'll need to bleed the brakes. Which would turn this into
a weekend job, probably.

Please advise.
