Check the piston surface for wear, damage or rust.

PAD WEAR CHECK
WARNING:
^
Always replace both brake pads on each wheel as a set (both front wheels or both rear wheels). Failure to do so will result in uneven
braking, which may cause unreliable brake operation.
^
If there is significant difference in the thickness of the pads on the left and right side, check the sliding condition of the piston, lock pin
and guide pin.
Measure thickness at the thinnest and most worn area of the pad.
