Installing new brake pads...
Is it normal for the pads to be touching the rotors a little bit? The rotors aren't hard to turn or anything but the pads are still scraping a little when I turn the axles manually.

Anyone...? Anyone...? It's like the little spring clips aren't keeping the pads far enough from the rotors... I've compressed the piston back as far as it'll go, too...

the brake pads im pretty sure are always gonna be touching the rotor at least a little. plus they will settle in after a little while of driving, but take it slow just in case.

Re: Installing new brake pads... (broke)
*phew* Thanks for the help - I appreciate it! You can squish the piston back into the bore, but if you press the brakes of course it just pops back out again, and the pads contact the rotors...
