Front Right Caliper Sticking

Take the soft line off the caliper (remove the banjo bolt), and see if you can easily move the piston back. If it is, you have a line issue. If not, the piston is hung in the caliper. My $ is on the soft line...

Just found these. I'm not sure if it's the same brand though.

I had the same issue. I pulled my guide pins and the old grease felt like the wax used in a wax ring on a toilet. They've been cleaned and greased and now move easily.
The issue now is that I've been driving my car with four wheel disc brakes and weighs half as much as the truck for a while and the trucks brakes feel like I'm using Flintstone brakes on a semi compared to it.

So I asked a few buddies in automotive school about the issue and they pointed out that my caliper boot is torn and that’s the problem, because my soft line really doesn’t look that bad, but idk. I’ve never done brake lines, and it’s hard to bleed the brakes by myself.
Could a torn caliper boot lead to the piston getting water into it, through mudding, and not being able to compress back down as easily?
