So I replaced all four brake pads and rotors a few months ago. Now my right rear brake pad is completely gone. WTF? All the other pads look fine.

There isn't anyway to adjust the brakes that I know of.

Any ideas what the problem might be? I guess I'll be getting new pads tomorrow. Same thing is probably going to happen in a few more months...

 

Is it both right rear brake pads? or just one side? If it's just one you probably have a seized/sticking caliper slider.

 

Just the right rear side. How should I go about fixing that? Replace the entire caliper?

Now that I think about it, it kinda feels like its sticking a little bit.

 

If the silder is stuck, no need to replace anything.

Remove the slider bolts, clean very well, lube the snot out of them, and reinstall.

 

Thanks. I'll go at it tomorrow.

 

Here is what I found.

The outside brake pad is completely worn. The inside pad is completely fine.

On the caliper there seems to be a hole in the seal. I assume this is what us causing the problem?

Could I just get some RTV silicon and seal that hole? Or would I be better off buying a new caliper? This is my beater car so I prefer not to dump money into it.
