Just installed freshly rebuilt calipers with new pads and hardware on my '74. Now the pad closest to the inside of the car seems to be rubbing on the rotor. I was thinking maybe I had the spreader spring installed incorrectly, but I can't even push the pad back any further by hand either.
Any thoughts on what would cause this?  |
