Svend:
thanks. One of the other tips I got from the local bike shop is to just insert a business card between the rotor and the brake pad on the side that's rubbing (without loosening the caliper) and clamp the brakes as a way of getting that piston to retract a bit more.  I've done that a time or two with success -- however, it didn't help much when Lynn's pads were completely gone.
