You should scrap the caliper. There seems to be a groove in the left pad guide.I scraped a front caliper for a much smaler one....
It can prevent the pad from moving against the disk.The pad sould slide freely on the guide like it is possible on the right side where everything is flat. The goove can make it stick.
I ended up splitting the caliper to aid in the cleaning.
is performing better than expected.

Thought this is cast as one piece?Quote from: mobile mouse on 04 May 2015, 10:20:48 pm is performing better than expected.If you've split it, will it be as strong as before?Easy enough to take apart in a (suitably padded) bench vice. The 2 halves bolt together. The very small central "O" ring seal is available included as a seal kit from Powerhouse Automotive, Sheffield. Their pattern seals fit perfectly unlike some other some on the market.
