I did some brake-work on Dobbie today. It all went well until I got to the right rear (last stop). I could not get the caliper off for the longest time. When I finally got the caliper off, the pictures below shows the condition of the piston. There's the catch. The brake pads were in really good condition, so it had to look this way before the pads were replaced. Had I not put new rotors on, I would not have known.
Question. HOW? I can't see any way for this to happen with the brake pads in. Even if one brake pad disappeared and the piston pushed against the rotor, the rotor would have had deep scarring. It didn't.
Another question. Who just puts this back on?
