Thanks to you all, I replaced my brake line, (along with re-manufactured caliper and pads) and all is great! I might not have needed the caliper but I bummed the piston up, trying to get it un-stuck. Pads looked glazed but rotor looked good. After a test drive, temp on replaced side was 167 while other front side was 178.

I have had bad luck with aftermarket calipers sticking. I went back to OEM
