Different pressure at the calipers

i have a 89 iroc and i have been having the problem that when braking the car would pull to the right. so i thought bad driver caliper right? so i changed both front calipers and pads. i bleeded the lines on both sides and when i bled the drivers only a trickle of fulid came out while the passanger came shooting out. what might be the problem

The flex lines (hoses) need to be replaced. Common issue.

Re: Different pressure at the calipers

that would be that rubber tubing that goes from the hard line to the caliper?

Yes. Many members replace that line with braided.
