Brake Pad to Rotor Relationship

khansmithMember

Hey guys...you'll be getting lots of questions from me as I replace my old calipers (frozen when I got the car) with some original calipers that I got from Pantera Performance. Anyway, I swapped out my rear driver side caliper and I was ready to insert the pads. I went with the piston side first (obviously) and noticed that I can only get the pad halfway in before it becomes completely wedged and the rotor won't spin free. Any thoughts? And how much drag on the rotor should be expected anyway with the pads?

Thank You!
