When I installed new SpeedBleeders and bled the brakes on my 2004 Silverado last night, the passenger front caliper was noticeably more difficult to get fluid to pass through. Finally got a bit of fluid to come through and then gave up.

Bad SpeedBleeder? Caliper going bad?
 
Take the bleeder screw out and clean the top hole out with a pick or torch tip cleaner or something similar. Do the same with the small hole that runs perpendicular to the larger hole at the bottom of the bleeder. Give it a shot of brake cleaner and blow it out with compressed air, and put a little bit of antiseize on the threads and reinstall.
