Still Wrenching on the Brakes..

Well I replaced the Master Cylinder because the brakes wheren't working at all.. the problem today I saw the driver side caliper was leaking fluid and the passenger sides been stuck (gotta spin the rotor to get it spinning with a pry bar)

I'v bled all 4 sides 2 times, Replaced the Master Cyc and Rebuilt the Drivers side caliper today.. you guys think I gotta rebuild the pass one to? its not leaking its just dragging and getting stuck /****

The hone is too clean up the pits and rust inside the caliper piston bore.
