DieselJim,

Loosen the bleed screw on the caliper that had the worn out pads and have someone step on the brake pedal. If the fluid doesn't squirt out readily, the hose to that caliper has probably become restricted. If you are not sure if it might be restricted, try the other side and compare.

Tighten the bleed screw when the brake pedal is released to keep air from getting into the caliper. If the hose has become restricted, it must be replaced.
