I could actually tell while driving that it was stuck and causing the wheel not to turn easily. I do remember trying to bleed the brakes awhile back and hardly any fluid came out of that wheel cylinder. The other side seemed to bleed just fine. That particular one had very little fluid to come out. I am hoping the new wheel cylinder and other hardware fixes the issue.

Brake shoes on backwards. Or springs put on in wrong order will do it. But looking at your pic I would guess yours is just a bad rubber brake hose on that side. Best to replace all and give it a good flush.
