You have a lot of uneven braking on the left caliper. Did you have a tight piston?

If you're going to strip and clean them I would, personally, put new pads in....

Hahahaha... :Fish:

Just took 'em off. I will clean them up, but they wont be going back on new pads or not. Have some 600f4's waiting in the wings to replace them.
