03 Sequoia, couldn't find the what have you done to your rig thread. Anyways I had one of my rear rotors getting chewed up. Ended up just throwing new pads and rotors on the rear and I noticed the outside pad on that side was way lower than the rest. Piston retracted with just hand pressure on that side so not sure it was stuck. Any other possible explanations?

Are the steel brake pins on which the pads ride/slide all crusty? I had an un-evenly worn front pad on my 80 series, and the pin was corroded and nasty - the pad hung up on that one brake pin and wore crookedly.

That side still has good grease on the slide pins, other side actually had one crusty pin (boot was not in great shape and missing the plug on the side of the pin) but even wear. I'll have to find a kit to just replace all those boots and plugs.
