One corner just not wanting to stop at all.

Ok, heres the deal.
I just replaced the rear disk brakes on this 89.
New Calipers, rotors and pads
Before the rears were not doing squat, now just the drivers rear is dead. The caliper compresses some, but cannot even stop the car in idle without a wheel/tire on it.
The passanger side seems to clamp fine.
any ideas?
They both bleed just fine...

also, the drivers side heated up BAD, I mean like 20-30 seconds of idle/brake/idle brake it was HOT. The passanger side was warm, but nowhere near... you could smell it a little bit even it got so hot... Did not know it that info would help but...
