JA
actually, no, it's got three bleeders on each of the front 4 pot calipers. I was like WTF this thing has 4 piston calipers?!?!?!

anyway, finally solved the mystery today after a long struggle. Had my assistant step on the brakes and then I tried to turn each rotor by hand. Sure enough, the right rear wasn't holding. So I yanked off the caliper and shot brake cleaner through the bleeder screw hole and blew out whatever could be stuck inside. This seemed to work, as the pedal hardened up almost immediately...this is one of the reasons why you should flush your brake fluid regularly, before it turns black and full of crap!

thanks to those who chimed in!
