when I go to spin the rotor it is scraping the pads. The piston was backed out completely and the caliper pins are nice and lubed up and slide freely. All the bolts are tourqued to the right specs, all shims and retainers as well as lubricant is on in the right spots. The e-brake is off. What else could this be, or is this normal until you break in the pads and rotors. Also this was done in the rear and the car is still on jackstands cause I have not bled them yet.

 

Will the tires spin? If so then I think you're fine.

 

i jsut changed my brakes also about two days ago....it will make that noise for a lil bit. but i also sprayed teh "BREAK QUIET" spray on them

 

Ya they spin it is just that you hear a ssht...ssht...shht and then they stop.
The ssht sound is the sound of the rotors rubbing the pad.

 

Ah, you're fine. Bleed the brakes and be done with it.

 

o ok. So the wheels are supposed to just spin freely like a bike rim.

Jigga what? You'll hear the pads rub the disks for a little bit. I think I don't understand what you're asking.

 

LOL, I don't think it matters really as long as it is normal to hear the pads rub a little.

 

Yes it should spin freely if ur e-brake is off.
