So in preparation of my integra brake swap onto my 95 civic I rebuilt the front and rear calipers. I ended up getting rebuilt autozones for the rear and reusing my bracket with sliding pins. Redoing the fronts was ok and the end result was a smooth and easy moving bracket. I don't see any problems with that. My rears were a major pain. Trying to cram the pads in between the metal hardware and the metal spring was a nightmare, but eventually worked. Once installed which also required prying to get it to fit in perfectly I couldn't move the caliper brakcet anymore. It was easy before the pads went in, but now it's seized. Are the rears supposed to be like this? Will it all just work it's way into position after I drive it a bit or is there something really wrong here? The only thing I lubed up was the back of the pads before putting the metal shims on. I just think the pads fit too tight and it's not letting anything move once they are in. Thanks in advance.
