I am having to replace the front brakes pads at 16K. The pads were almost down to metal. Is that a normal pad life?

Unless neglected callipers causing the pads to drag... ;-)...they mostly wear from stopping not going!
hmm...My understanding is that the link only works when the rear brake is applied.
Be sure to clean the grooves that the seals fit in. New seals sets of course. Teflon tape on the bleeder valve threads. New crush washers on the banjo bolts. Put a micrometer on the rotors to check against spec and for your records. Inspect and change your brake fluid as necessary in the future.You were right on John. The brake fluid had gummed up and was preventing the pistons from retracting. The ST should be back in operation by the weekend!! Yay!
...should?!... I'd make that a mandatory procedure ;-)...sounds like I should be replacing brake and clutch fluids once a year or so.
No!Do you guys ever just re-use em when maintaining master cylinders?
