Still dragging a little

OK, guys. Thanks for all the help so far. I changed the calipers, pads and bled the lines.

The right brake is still dragging a little. It's not locked up like before, but it is dragging.

I guess the next step is to change the hoses.

Problem solved. Thanks again for all the help to a noob. I changed the brake hose on the right side and that solved the problem. I am going to change the one on he driver side just because I think I should.

Brake components, in general, should always be changed in pairs or sets on an axle. If you change something on the left then change it on the right as well. This will help to avoid problems with uneven braking and pulling.
