One sticking rear caliper is being replaced tonight. I was clamping correctly when applied but would not release correctly creating enough drag to produce significant heat. Rusted slider pins which I did fail to check when I put the pads on at the end of march, and I have reason to believe that the caliper is now suspect from all of the heat generated.
The part costs 220 which will be quickly recouped from fuel savings and not having to replace pads every 7000 km. lol
Maybe I will be back to making good numbers like I did last month. I will refill right after I get the repair done for a fresh start on my ongoing goal of breaking 500 miles, plus clearly define the effect of poor brake function.
