rear brake help - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #76685 4 posts Started by Malhar95
so i was changing my rear rotors and pad, and came accross a little problem
my disc seems to be grinding from the bottom. the only way it stops is when i push it in from the bottom.
i know its not a man. defect b/c its doing the same with my old ones.

heres what i did:

  1. took the wheel off.
  2. took that one bolt for the caliper, 'slidded' (if thats a word lol) it up, and pushed it to take it off.
  3. took the two bolts behind to take the bracket off.
  4. and then just pulled the rotor/disc off.
its only doing it on the driver side.

and when i started driving it, its still grinding (a little) and squeeks when i drive, stops squeeking when i apply the brakes.

my question is:
is there something else which holds the rotor in place?

Basically the Caliper "floats" on the rotor but the lug nuts are what hold the wheel and the rotor to the spindle.
Did you change your e-brake pads? Or adjust them at all?
