Replace this caliper for sure. Definitely an unusual problem.
I don't know about that. It just feels like there's a spring where there doesn't need to be one.
However, I discovered that the bracket that the screws go through is actually two pieces. Is that the 2 pieces you're talking about? I guess I'll remove that cover after all. If there's anything to fix, it's in there. If have to replace the caliper, I have nothing to lose. And I'll get to see what's in there.
