I really hate for my 6th post to be asking for help, and all we need on here is another rear brake thread, but I'm feeling sick to my stomach
Picked my 07 (bought in 09) last week from a dealer, sort of a "drive and ride" thing. Has 2200 miles including the long trip back. I checked it over pretty well before I left, but apparently not good enough, unless it happened on the way home...
The inside rear brake pad is skewed, and has worn that way (pic below)
Yes, it seriously drags on the rear wheel, but a manual check of the secondary master cylinder (by manually pivoting the front left caliper) proves OK as the piston depresses and releases.
I've been reading so much on here lately that it's a big blur, but I know that in one of the SMC threads some one had a similar problem, but of course I can't find it now.
I can manually back the pads off so the wheel is free, but activating either brake system brings it right back. TIA for any advice as to what caused it (and how to fix!)
