Hi All,

Another issue came up...

photo 20160219_121104_zpstffdwcud.jpg
It looks like the inside caliper piston is stuck from the beginning, see the top pad. The caliper was replaced 2 years ago due to leaky bleeder screw and it has around 57,000 miles. I bought it from Autozone and brake fluid flush was performed every 30,000 miles.

I sprayed some PB blaster around the stuck piston and applied brake pressure but it's not budging at all. So I decide to put the old worn out pad by stuck piston side and hoping that gap will create the pressure and release the stuck caliper piston as I drive around. Is this good idea or bad? Please let me know.

As always, thank you.

PS
Using Volvo brake pads(Made in India) & ATE brake fluid.
