oo, reminds me of when I *did* feel them quit working.

I had driven my friend home after work, and I slowed to turn into his street and a horrible grinding/dragging noise suddenly started up. I knew it was brakes but not what; going home with downshifting and light braking. Upon inspection, the brake linings had worn to the rivets...and subsequently cut light grooves in the rotors.

What I don't get, and you may be able to answer my question, is the piston's method of retracting..was it rotation or simply pushing it in? Neither worked for me (unlike my 99 lumina which goes in with finger pressure) so we had to get the car towed to a shop to have it fixed.
