Thanks for the feedback. Is sticky calipers something I fix or replace? (sorry I haven't searched for info about it yet). And yes, both pads are low but the point was to show the difference in wear. "Plenty of meat" wasn't the right choice of words. It was said in reference to the inner pad. But if I just looked and saw the outer pad with that much life on it, I wouldn't replace them yet.

The caliper guides can be taken out and cleaned. Clean them with brake cleaner, and regrease them with Honda High temp Urea grease or another high quality waterproof hi temp grease. Spray a little bit of silicone lube or similar product to the rubber boots.

You can also clean the pistons by pumping the brake graduallyand cleaning them with brake cleaner and a medium bristle brush. Just be careful to not let the piston travel too far out.

Good juju from rioyellow s2k. Not really a difficult job.

A sticking caliper will do that, grease the sliders with high temp grease and clean everthing real good make sure no grease is on the rotors or the pads.
Also check if there was grease or oily film anywhere near the brake rotors calipers indicating a leak. I did a brake job on a VW GTI (it had less than 25000 miles on it) and the guy had the car slammed it had bottomed out at some point and blew the front strut on the passenger side and the oil in the strut leaked out on the rotors, oil on the rotors caused the brakes to constantly be applied almost like he was riding around with just that brake applied and ate the pads and rotor up. Just a thought, I would also check the other side if you haven't already.

Cleaning the calipers now & pads are on the way. Thanks!

Cool! After you get it all back together I would pump the brakes a few times and then spin the wheel and make sure the calipers are releasing properly(no dragging) or you'll be right back where you are now with uneven pad wear.
