Caliper help !
Re did my front brakes.. New rotors calipers and pads.. Left side went on great nice and snug , moves side to side , wheel turns nice. Right side caliper very tight,no side to side movement and wheel turns too tight. Is it ok to grind the caliper or rotor to free it up a bit. Thanks Rick

Re: Caliper help !
Did you press the calipor piston in all the way on that side?Did you bleed the brakes afterwards to equalize the lines just incase.

Re: Caliper help !
Make sure the pistons are pushed in and the pins are lubed. You shouldn't need to turn a rotor to fit pads.

Re: Caliper help !
Did you check the slides on the right side? They could be sticking and not allowing the movement. I also agree shouldn't have to grind anything with new stuff.
