So far so good, I used the truck to take the old caliper back to the parts
store and had no issues. Thge truck definetly pulls to the good side, but I'm
hoping that's just because the burnt pad and rotors on the bad side. UPS is
planning on delivering my new rotor and pads on Tuesday so hopefully they fix
the pull. If not I suppose it could be some more air left on that side.
