The Front Brakes Were Shot...
And that's an understatement! In actual fact, I couldn't even get the brakes to move, much less come off at first, because the rusting brake pad parts had swelled up against the inside of the caliper housing to the point where they were well and truly stuck fast against the disk.
I ended up levering the calipers off of the disk using a flat blade screwdriver, then my largest BONDHUS hex key, and then finally, a plank of wood!
When I finally did get the calipers off, BOTH of the front brake pads split away from their backing pad and dropped immediately to the ground! It was much more dramatic firsthand than it looks on video, I assure you! Still...enjoy!
