Default sticky calipers

just replaced my front brakes (rotors and pads) a few days ago and noticed that my passenger side pads stick to the rotors.

the thing is it doesn't happen all the time... should i just give it a week to break in or does the caliper need replacing?

or could it be the brake line is pinched or something like that?

I would say re-bleed the brake system again, see if it frees up any clogs in the brake lines, if that doesn't work, get a new caliper.

calipers locking up. Replaced both fronts. (The right way to fix this problem) Or pop the bleeder line on the on caliper and push the piston back in its hole then install calipers and pump up the brakes. Try that.
