Those top pads look weird!
If the left side are still decent you might have a caliper issue. The square cut O-rings lose their ability to retract the pistons when they get old. When new/good they slightly retract the piston when fluid pressure is released. It's not much, .002"-.003" but if they are rock hard, they leave the pads solidly against the rotor causing excessive wear/brake dragging. It's a bit like "riding the brakes". Front calipers are easy to rebuild, rears are NOT! The biggest issue with my 75 when I purchased it was one of the rear calipers did exactly this and trashed both the pads and the rotor. |

Thanks for the info! That very well may be the case. I've already bought all 4 brake hoses to install, hoping that maybe the brake hose on that caliper is failing internally and causing the dragging. |
