Well…man, another busy day today with an indoor ride, over to the library, and out for an outdoor ride, then I made a batch of soup, then decided I was going to try to figure out the brake noise that was annoying the hell out of me…it sounded like the right rear brake this time so I took it apart and yep, the inner pad had fallen apart and half of it was gone and the other half was just wedged in no longer attached to the backing plate….so I took it apart and this time the pad retractor worked perfectly and it took less than an hour from start to finish…so now I’m hoping that this will fix the long pedal travel, too, since I have the pads adjusted right…and I had the pads here from fixing the other side…probably should have just replaced them all but I seem so damn busy…after that, I got the second ride in and I still have the weight work to do…at least the car is now fixed and I won’t cringe driving it anymore…yay me!
