I was getting a grinding noise from the front right wheel and found out that I am down to the metal on the outside pad.

The inside pad was about 50% and both pads on the left wheel were about 50% too. I replaced the pad about 2 years ago.

Sounds to me like the caliper guide pins are seized up. The caliper needs to float so that the pads wear even. Another problem could be that the piston is froze in the caliper. That would keep the pressure on even after you let off of the brakes.

Did you do the brakes yourself? If you did do you remember having a hard time pushing the piston back into the caliper.
