Did you compress your caliper piston ?

->My rear brake pads were tight to go into the pad carrier... I 
->had to use some force to pop them in place.  The old ones 
->weren't so tight, and could slide in the pad carrier.  
->So is this just a characteristic of new pads, or do I need to 
->shave them so they'll slide along the carrier?  My logic 
->tells me they would need to slide inside the carrier for the 
->brakes to be able to release properly.  Right now if I 
->squeeze the pads against the disc, then spin the disc I can 
->hear the pads rubbing - i.e. they aren't being deflected 
->(released) because they're too tight in the carrier.
->Boo on brakes. ;)
->PS. - thanks for the last bit of info Allyn.
