I changed my pads a few years ago and I just started hearing the wear sensor squeel. I only drive about 5000mi a year so I took the tire off to see what was up. Only one pad is worn down and the rest are still new. My question is, do I just need to bleed the brakes or is there more that I'm not seeing here? If I just need to bleed, do I bleed the three that aren't stopping or the one that is?
Thanks, Don |

If you do have a frozen caliper, which seems likely -- my guess is that the worn pad was on the piston side -- and a bolt broken off in the bracket, I'd suggest replacing with a semi-loaded caliper. This will be a rebuilt with the bracket included, as opposed to an unloaded caliper (no bracket) or fully loaded (caliper, bracket and pads).
