Smile 1979 XJ brakes pulling to one side Caliper rebuild? or reman?

Everytime I hit my brakes hard car pulls to the right. I am thinking that the right caliper is sticking or the left caliper is not working well. The car did sit for 10 years what is the first step. Get the brakes flushed, pull off calipers? I am terrified of air in the system. I have changed pads before but not calipers. Please advise of things I should not do or do. Cheers.

Could be either caliper or hose. Rebuilt calipers are not too bad pricewise, $140 exchange. The core charge is strong, $100, but refunded once your old units are returned. Sounds like a caliper issue. You may want to feel the hose to see if you come across a "knotted" area.
