Should move the same cal piston could be sticking or the brake hose is collasped internally acting as one way check valve

your talking internally where is the line inside the caliper.I held one piston other moves freely,with the caliper flipped up the piston on right seems to move slower should i just replace the caliper hate to do that

They are easy to o/haul, just a matter of cleaning the pistons up with a scotch brite pad to remove any build up, replace the inner caliper seal lube with rubber grease re fit pistons and outer dust seals and re fit and bleed.
