Thanks again for the replies.

So if I'm understanding right, when the caliper piston releases, the outer pad moves away because it's attached to the caliper (or is it that the rotor is no longer pushed into the outer pad?). The inner pad that is mounted on the caliper bracket is *NOT* pulled away from the rotor, but its contact with the rotor is not a problem since there's no pressure forcing the contact.

Thanks again, and here's hoping!
