Decided a week ago to figure out why my '85 G30 Chevy van was pulling to the left when the brakes were applied. Has to be a caliper or a brake hose.
Took it all apart and lubed up the calipers and while it's apart I threw in new pads I had available ... I bought probably two decades ago. ( I use the van probably less than 100 miles per year ..... now has about 80K miles on it.)
Take her out for a test drive & no good .... plus a "new" noise.
Take the driver's side apart and find I had stuck the inboard pad in backwards ....... Yes ...... metal against rotor.
I stared at the situation in disbelief for quite awhile trying to understand how I could do something so stupid. ( The rotor only slightly marred. )
I went & bought two new calipers and brake hoses and now all is well.
