Re: [T3] That's what I get!!


Probably not the problem here, but just in case .....

Uneven pad wear is sometimes due to the piston retaining plate (flat
triangle with a hole that the pin goes through) trailing rather than
leading.  It should be at the bottom of the pad opening on a Type 3.  If the
calipers have two bleed screws, they may have been swapped side for side.
If only one, the pistons may have been turned during rebuilding.

Incidentally, on a Type 4 the calipers are in front of the axle and the
retainer plate is on the upper end of the pad slot.
