Default Hung Break?

I was checking my brake pads latley and I noticed that the front-right is about 80% worn and the front-left is about 40% worn. I've had the car for 40,000 miles now, but I don't know exactly when the front pads were last replaced. I just put new rear pads on, though unrelated.

Anyway, what's going on? Hung caliper?

From the title of this post, I thought it was going to be the female version of the "Cleavage Showdown," in Off-Topic. I don't know what to tell you about your brakes, but I'm kind of disappointed about my misunderstanding.

haha sineo. caliper pins are the metal things that the caliper slides on. the caliper is sorta flaoting on it as it should be. u can sorta take the caliper and move it with ur hand. there are 2 bolts on tha back of the caliper covered by this plastic rubber cover. take it off and put an allen in and take the pins out. i think it's a 8mm allen
