Default Rebuilt Calipers, still sticking..

Okay My old calipers on my sedan were sticking real bad.
Tried bleeding the brakes and i notice front passenger , hardly fluid comes out.

So i just bought got myself a donor hatch and got the calipers there and rebuilt them.
I made sure i lubed them and clean em good.

Put it on Bled the brakes front passenger still doing the same when bleeding.
Barely fluid coming out have to be stepping on it.

So Test drove it there still sticking. -_-
Could this be brake lines clogged? stretched?

maybe its the rubber brake lines going to the caliper. I had that happen twice on two different cars, a ford and a chrysler. I think the rubber inside just collapses. Give that a try, just be careful when you loosen it from the metal lines. Make sure you spray penetrating oil on the connector so the connector and the line does not twist and kink. That almost happened to me.

Just replace them, they should be like 25 bucks or so at an auto store.

Replace rubber hoses. Stock is fine, they're just old.
