Here is my problem. On my drivers side only, the pad on the outside of the rotor was COMPLETELY gone, and all the other pads (drivers side inner, and both passanger side pads) still had more than 50% left on them.

When i drive, it seems like the pad is not releasing back from the rotor when i stop on the brakes.. but does not make the car pull to that side when braking, it only seems to pull (noticably) when at highway speeds (60+)

Is my caliper frozen/bad? Is there something i can do to loosen it up? Or do i just have to replace it? Maybe some grease would help?

Any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

check your rotors. most of the time that is the cause of brake wear problems. The more "grooves" you have over the surface, the more irregular wear you will have.

If thats the case and you need new rotors, go for the brembo drilled rotors.

 

Sounds like you caliper pin is stuck. There's a whole brake job how-to Here at Motorvate. About the middle of the second page he talks about caliper pins.

 

This seems to be the likely scenario. Make sure you remove the caliper pin boot, (I turn it inside out and clean it properly), and clean the pin and lube it with grease. Basically make sure that the caliper can "float" freely when you move it inside/out.
