I replaced the drivers side wheel bearing Saturday when I left the garage the brakes felt tight mainly the pass. Front,the next day the pass front started to squeak when applied mainly a slow speeds or when coming to a stop. I looked everything over while still together all looked good pads still good no noticeable missing parts, Sunday night the wife went to drive it came back in and said it felt funny and she didn't want to drive it. I went out tried to back up and one or both front brakes were locked up, instead looking at them I rocked it forward and backwards till it popped and was free and was fine. Drove probably a 1/4 mi. Crawled under it and again every thing looked fine. Tues. I replaced the pass. Wheel bearing looked over the brakes nothing looked off, rotor looks perfect still had stiff brakes and loud squeal tonight I hit the brakes pedal went straight to the floor quick pump brakes were fine, next pedal hit was stiff pedal then slowly to the floor with no help from pumping and when I backed into the driveway had a very hard pedal with instant brakes. Would the hydro or master throw the abs light? The master is a little low but I didn't notice fluid any where

I read and reread your post a few times and Im still not exactly sure what is going on. a few questions--
were the brakes working fine before taking the drivers side hub apart? (Im asking because the only thing you may have done with the brakes was shove some fluid back into the master to loosen them up for removal.)
Was pass side even touched the same day as the drivers side?
Im scratching my head at how you could have killed the master (that appeared to be working fine) by removing a caliper and working on the hubs. I would be all over those calipers for any stickiness. Silicone lube them good and clean the pins good.
It does not sound like the pads are returning and the pistons are falling away giving some airgap between the piston and pad. I would not be ready to replace a master yet...you have more work to do on the calipers.

Pissing fluid everywhere? What is wrong with it. Hard for me to tell in the pic. By the way you should PTM your mirrors. They look terrible black.
Pad is in the backing plate, not sold on the Ptm style yet
