2016 CX-9: One inside rear brake pad is worn to the metal. The outside pad on that wheel has about 3mm of pad remaining. I'm about to dive into it, and I haven't yet checked the other side of the car. Has anyone had a sticky parking brake actuator? Any tips for refurbishing one, or tips for replacing one? I have pads & rotors on order, and I may need to replace an actuator depending on what I find. There isn't a lot of rust, and I don't drive in winter areas with a lot of salt. If the actuator just needs cleaning and lubing, that's OK. If not, it's about $100 each to replace part KA0G268EXA.
When you check your brake pads always check the inside pad thickness as well as the outsides. The insides are harder to see, but it can be done through the openings in the caliper. A mechanic's mirror and a flashlight are a help.
