I was changing my pads today in my 88T, and the left-hand rear caliper piston was seized up when trying to compress it with the clamp and it wouldn't budge. I kept on closing up the clamp and it finally went in but it leaked brake fluid out of the piston when it began moving again. Im guessing it's completely screwed, it's only the one side that did it and the front and right hand rear were fine and didn't do it when compressing the pistons. The rear left-hand side probably hasn't even been working this whole time.
Another thing I did see however was very noticable uneven pad wear on the other rear side. I wanted to get away without remachining the rotors but I'll probably have to now as they're still a bit grainy in a rythmic motion. It sounds like worn pads, like the brake wear indicator, but replacing the pads didn't fix it and infact made it worse.
Any ideas on both issues? Thanks!
