You mention you replaced the pads--the brake linings on the axles I took off were not in need of replacing--this after 8 years and probably 48000+ miles.

When I bought the 07.5 MS in late 11 I went thru it and discovered the slide bolts on the calipers were not lubed from the factory. So the outer pads were doing all the work. When I came to the 4th wheel the outer pad was missing and the caliper was grinding into the rotor. Kodiak gave me a great deal on a new rotor and caliper. I installed NAPA's best semi metallic pads per the advice from Kodiak.
After doing the work we tried out the brakes to set the pads. I was very impressed and so was my Dad.
