[T3] Now a brake glitch

Got the car back and see no adverse wear,cracks, or gouging. This compared to the drivers side rotor. These are the symptoms. Hop in the car and start driving. Apply the brakes and it pulls left. Let off the brakes and apply a few seconds later and the pull left is gone or diminished. A third application and the pull IS gone. Drive for 10-15 minutes and it feels like the RF bearings are failing fast. I now know that is because the rotor is super hot. 
Am I over thinking when I suspect the one RF caliper is stuck and applies but only retracts partially. A couple applications on the brake pedal and it is applying but not retracting so it's heating the rotor. 
I suspect this has been there for a while but completely forgotten while dealing with the transmission.

Jim please let me know what the cost of two flexible lines delivered to zip 98239. I will pay pal to you, and have the hoses if/when you are on vacation.

I'm thinking rebuild kits and new pads.
Thanks
