Icon2 PLEASE HELP!!!!Passenger brake caliper problem...

ok this has happened withing the past month..i would drive down the street fine but when i go to press on the brake i stop fine, but when i start rolling again i can feel resistance on the passenger front caliper.

platform: 93 civic ex 4 door with a b16swap

codes: abs light is on

solutions tried: bleeding brakes, changed hose, changes calipers, flushed system.

WHAT IS MY PROBLEM?

note: i have perfect brakes if i leave the bleeder valve cracked...but this puts air in the system..can i rig up one of those one man bleeders to the valve? thanks

The brake line/hose leading to the caliper or the caliper itself may be partially clogged.

Sounds like a sticking or rusty piston in the caliper to me.
Check it out by removing it and the pads to see if it moves freely.
Rebuild or replace them both as a pair, never one at a time.
Check the slide pins are free and lubricated correctly with high temp brake grease.
If they have been allowed to run dry for a while they wear and will have a lot of unwanted play in them and the caliper and pins must be replaced.

lubed pins when i tore the front end apart
new caliper on passenger side...

but what gets me is that when i went to get a caliper from the parts store the hardware kit did not fit...and when i looked at the other side i could tell there was a difference from the hole and the top of the caliper...would having a different caliper make the brakes seize up??
