Today i heard the brake pad indicator noise, and I knew rear passenger side, got home and find out pads are gone, no problem I had new ones.
Put everything back together no problem, and here comes the why only one of the four wear down
only the rear passenger will not release. The piston is “new” one yr old, the pins slide easy and still after applying the brake I can not spin the wheel like the rear driver side. Tomorrow I will get a new brake hose, or do I have to find the problem somewhere else?

Judging by your statement, am I to assume you rebuilt the caliper at some point? If that’s the case, I don’t advise it. I don’t often see caliper rebuilds work out. You may need to replace that caliper. It’s also imperative that you use the correct lubricants on the slide pins. If not, the caliper will not operate properly. More info here.

Good luck and keep us posted.
upppssss sorry, I did write piston but I mean caliper is new I didn`t rebuilt it I bought a new one and the lubricant on the pins 3m silicon paste
All right here is the update
I did get the new brake hose installed, the caliper was new a yr ago it is working perfect the seal looks new the piston move easy, the pins lubed with 3m silicone paste and move easy and for some reason the brake was still grabbing after I let off the brake pedal
I was thinking what is the reason for the pads to loosen after I take my foot off the pedal and how can I make it move
I put a washer under only one bolt of the of the bracket, making the assembly a tiny bit twisted to the brake disc, and it works!!!!
It loosens the pads after I let off the brake, BUT will see maybe 5 or 6 mo later the pads might wear parallel again and I might have the same problem
I will be back here let you all know what happened
