I have only braking on the near side front calliper for some reason.
I replaced all the callipers, discs, pads on all four corners in October and everything has been fine, today I replaced the off side front hub as it had a couple of snapped bolts in it, calliper unbolted easily pads came out ok, damn calliper is still shiny as it only done 700 miles, went back in ok, no struggle at all, I pushed one of the pistons easily with my finger, the only thing I did different was put in the pad retaining pins in so the split pins where facing outwards instead on inwards, and I ckeaned off the disc of grease and oil.

Could it be

Pins incorrectly installed
Or
Some grease or oil contamination on the disc I might have missed?

Can't be a seized calliper already? Can it?
 
Could be the slide pins mate..? I did this a few weeks ago and made a point of replacing them too. One of the old ones had got well jammed in..
