No parking brake?

[infernosg]

So fast forward 6+ months and I'm still diagnosing the problem. I learned something new today: with the piston pushed all the way into the caliper both sides appear to work as normal. That is, rotate the lever and the piston is moved outward about 1/8 in. or so. However, after the piston is adjusted outward to contact the brake pad only the driver's side piston moves when the parking break lever is moved. I'm guessing something is wrong inside the passenger's side caliper.

I agree something is wrong with the rebuilt unit...

Is the unit still under warranty?
If not, why not tear it apart and inspect the bore?

Yep, bad caliper. Replaced it with another reman'd unit and everything functions as it should. Too bad the left rear is now leaking so it needs to be replaced (again) as well. I'm going with Centric rebuilds units this time. I've had good luck with them in the past.
