Agree, change pads and keep on rolling

Okay so yeah, I was overthinking the parking brake a little bit, it fit back over the new rotor easily. The long bolts holding te small caliper were really hard to take off and put back on, just really tight much harder than the large 18mm bolts for the primary calipers. I didn't disassemble...

So front right brake job is done, went with brembo rotors and pads, solid fitment. Was amazed at how much front pad life was left at 100k miles, at least half pad material left compared to new brembo pad. I painted the inside fender well as po had run over paint at some point, and washed inside...
