Hanging rear caliper Bernie says:

[SuffolkD at aol.com]

Bernie: When did I say any of this?:
"Further, discounting his contention that piston guidance is acheived
in any way by the Ebrake nut and screw."
I haven't mentioned the Ebrake mechanism at all.
Only E-brake mention is here:
Bernie et al:
"While the E-brake could be the issue, (one side not releasing) there IS a 
proportioning valve for Left vs. Right.  This ALSO could lead to unmatched 
caliper pad wear side to sdie (L&R) -Scott by BOSTON"
That was reference to someone's post about maybe the ebrake mechanism caused 
his uneven L side to R side pad wear.
-Scott by BOSTON

Its okay to constructively point things out like Ingo did with his analysis 
of "why" the what I saw, but beyond the thin pads, quattro123.com photos and 
the proportioning valve(s) I didn't talk about the ebrake mechanism.............

Credit to Phil, you did learn something new yesterday...............
