You can try Squeezing and releasing the brake lever repeatedly, removing the wheel and reinserting it, gently flexing the rotor to try to push the rubbing pad away – but the brake will usually still rub as soon as you brake again.

Don’t get your fingers caught in the rotor (disk). There are many different problems that can occur with disk brakes just like rim brakes. The number one complaint you will come across is brake rub. Brake rub is usually accommodated with a noise like a squeal or screech.

You might have corrosion on the slides, or the caliper pistons. The caliper needs to be replaced or repaired, and you will likely need to replace the pad as well. High heat in the brake caliper can cause the brake fluid to degrade, or develop air bubbles. You should bleed that brake as well.

Squeeze the brake and tighten the bolts

Once your brake caliper is loose, spin the wheel and then tightly pull the brake lever. The brake caliper will grip against the rotor, which will bring both pads into alignment with each other. With the brake still held, tighten the bolts back up.

There is no space between the pad and rotor . . . the pad rides up against the rotor at all times, the caliper just increases the pressure when the piston extends. agree w/John. It’s pretty much 0.0″ Clearance after pads are installed and brake pedal depressed…

The process of breaking in new brake pads is referred to as Bedding in. When your pads are being bedded in, you may hear some squealing, screeching or grinding. But this noise should lessen as you drive your car and allow the pads to become worn in.

There are only a few reasons (i can think of) that the caliper would hit the rim; Wheel bearings fried, bent wheel, loose bolts, damaged hub, improper wheel size for the brakes.

Diagnosis. Pad/rotor rub is the main symptom of a Misaligned caliper. However pad/rotor rub can also caused by an improperly seated wheel. Make sure your wheel is seated properly.
