MIGHT BE THE CALIPER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
I compressed the pistons on both sides with a C-clamp, one side had
quite a bit of clearance when I put the new pads/rotor on, the other
one seemed compressed all the way (at least it would not go any
further and there was not much of the pistons showing) but was a
really tight fit (I had to persuade it a bit).
I have the ABS fuse pulled as the control unit failed with the motor
"on" and it was draining the battery. I tried to get at the
controller as it appears a resoldering will fix it, but the thing is
just about inaccessible, right about a frame rail under the body
floor under driver seat. Hoses look OK but I was thinking I should
probably change those too. I have to do another 100k service now at
200k miles, so brake fluid change is on that list.
