    Brake Caliper Hanging Up???

    I was checking the rear brakes yesterday and saw that I have one pad that's worn out completely, while all the others show only marginal wear. Any thoughts on what would cause one caliper to hang up like this and might be the cure?

    With our weather dry and in the 30s & 40s, I don't want to miss weekends on the road! [8D]

    Silk,

    Sound like an internal problem with the calipher, on side is getting all the pressure and the other is not. There is no clamping of the brake pads, this could be caused by some trash blocking the internal flow of brake fluid or a cylinder binding. Any way you look at it the calipher needs to be removed and re-built. They are not all that bad to remove and Unique could rebuild you calipher, call Maurice.
