Not yet. I haven't taken the car back down off the jack stands to be able to do the reverse test you suggested. I could use a G/C clamp and compress the pads back away from the rotors while it's in the air. I'm just not quite sure what that will accomplish.
I've done something similar over the years when I've changed my brakes, of course, so I'm aware of the procedure for the most part. But if I compress them and put the calipers back in place, take the car for a drive, and it returns...have i solved anything?
It seems to me I'd be back at square one, where I'd be looking at either a problem with the calipers, a problem with the master cylinder, or a problem with the brake booster.
Unless the pads weren't seated properly into the caliper when installed, I'm just not sure how it would be a long-term fix of the issue.
I'm willing to try both of course, just can't really wrap my head around it.
