Good idea, I am really anxious to get back and check that out, especially 
since you and Jim both suggested that a stuck piston could be the culprit, 
but like i posted a little bit ago, what causes pistons to get stuck, is it 
just dirt, or age, or can something besides the caliper be causing the 
piston to get stuck?
