Well i have gsr rear disk i recently thought that my caliper was shot but now that i get into it i found that the pad behind the disk is worn at a angle but the front pad is perfect what does this mean?


please help

 

Usually means that your piston is sticking in side the caliper.

 

how do you fix this but why would it be uneven?

 

Take the caliper off. And have someone press the brake pedal slowly. You dont want the piston coming all the way out. But it might just be seized up inside of there and you need to free it up. If that doesn't work, you will probably need to get a new caliper.

 

hey evil i did that and the piston came all the way out now what?

 

That why I said have someone help you and push it down slowly. Ok anyway now that it is already out. LOL look where it came out from. Are there any o-rings or seals that have fell out of place or are broke?

 

nope they have not came out of place do i need to twist the piston in?

 

If not then just put it back in and slowly mash the piston back down. You can use a big set of channel locks to push the piston back in. But now you have to bleed the brakes all over again.

 

**** i did not bleed them in the first place so now what damn this sucks

 

Thats right it is a Screw in rear piston. You will be able to push it in most of the way. Then screw it in the rest of the way. Also it will be alot easier if you loosen the bleeder on the backside. Since you alreay have to bleed the brakes again anyway.

 

When the piston came out did you lose any fluid?

 

yes

 

hitting you up on AOL

 

it sounds like one of the 2 pins is sticking... that would explain uneven wear.
