Karl, if you haven't conquered your strut tower issue here's what worked for me on my E12/E24 Buster: I have the style where the cross bar is tied to the mounts by bolts so, I unscrewed the cross-member and tightened only the bolt under it. The other two I left a little loosie goosie to make sure ev...

Piston
Then, your piston is frozen in th caliper. Luckily we have the four piston setup per caliper! Eventually, you'll have to rebuild both calipers. Never do just one side! You'll hate the tugging to one side. Does the pad appear to be worn on one end more than the other? Good thing it's on the rear 'cau...
