Installed new front (and rear) pads on my 92 rescue project. The right front rotor turns relatively easily until I tighten the slide pins (Nissin calipers); then it appears to clamp the outer pad against the rotor. The left side works as it should. First thought it was the caliper not relaxing, so I rebuilt the caliper with new seals so the piston now moves pretty easily. Same result.
Ran out of time this evening. To confirm it, I'll take the caliper out and see where the slide pin bottoms and maybe put a washer under the head of the slide pins to allow it to float a little further out. I don't want to leave the washers in; so I if I confirm the pad is to thick any recommendations on how to shave the pad down?
