your pad isn't contacting at the bottom. I'd replace both on that end of the car in order to get proper and even wear

Decided to tackle the pesky caliper today.
Jacked her up and took the wheel off, I had to pound the caliper off the rotor with a hammer
Then I applied liberal amounts of caliper grease to the piston, pumped the brakes a few times pushing the piston back in between times. Then put the rotor back on, and this time it fit right over the rotor unlike last time where i had to force it on a bit.
Took her for a ride, and voila! Normal brake pressure :D :D :D
Now Im just going to have uneven rotor/pad wear which probably isnt that good, but considering I just replaced the front pads and rotors in December, Im not about to do it again.
Couple pics I took of the parking lot wrenching
