just put new pads/rotors on the rears. The passenger side was down to the rivets. The apparent culprit was sticky pins due to a torn boot. I replaced that sides pins and lubed both sides. I losened the adjuster under the rockerpanel. Now the driver side drags a little, enough to heat the wheel up a bit. From what I can tell that adjuster only helps the passenger side. Is there another adjuster hiding somewhere? Is it adjustable at the brake lever.

How did you get the piston back into the caliper? That may tell the story.

scott,

yes, the piston is back in. Although on that side I had to crack the bleeder valve to get it to screw in. Is this OK?
