Yes you did. Thank you! Had some other things take me away from it so this will get done however, I have verified the issue is most likely user error or the the spindle is not right. I purchased another caliper from a different parts house and found it too doesn’t line up.

I’ve done the rotors and pads brake service on this truck in the past without trouble. The calipers were sticking in this case. Only difference is new calipers and I’m not going back with new pas right now. Maybe I should as that would align the caliper over top of rotor more precisely. Come to think of it this is the first time I’ve attempted reassembly without all new rotors and pads!

I appreciate your help Sir.
