Brent,
remove the two bolts that hold the caliper on. Remove, and prop up on a box or something so it is not hanging by the hose. Slip the rotor off. Lay on a piece of glass (a mirror works, or a coffee table. ) check for flat! If good, no gaps.if warped, you can see it easily. Joe

If you have one pad wearing and not the other you need to take your caliper apart and clean and lubricate the sliding surfaces; something is binding that shouldn't. :lecturef_smilie:nojoke
