ABS issues need help?

I am having brake issue on my 86 C4. My ABS system light is on and I know it has something to do with the front driver side. Whenever I brake the car pulls to the right. The calipers are fine, checked for leaks, bled the system twice and tried pretty much everything I know. Someone more experienced told me the solenoid on the ABS for that wheel is blown and needs to be rebuilt. Has anyone had these issue before? Is it something simple or does the entire ABS system need to be replaced?!

Check your left rubber hose it might be swelled keeping the fluid back.

Sometimes it is hard to tell when you bleed does it comes out equal and free.

Check the front wheel bearings. Loose bearing can cause the air gap to change at the ABS sensor and trigger the light.

What code is set ?

It would be pretty unusual to find an abs module causing a brake pull. Not impossible just really unusual.
