Technical new brakes

[arc]

cars up on stands atm, part way thru fitting red dot 6 grooves and fast road pads.

got one side done, and then moved the car so we could do the other. is it normal for the pads to be catching slightly - and they'll just wear down a bit once i drive it, or have cocked something up?

cheers!

They usually touch the disc just slightly(a sheet of paper should go through)

ahh thats ok then, they're not rubbing a lot - just a very slight catch

The wheel should spin freely, once it´s attached of course

don't forget to pump your brake pedal after doing the brakes! You don't want to end up on someone's drive trying to stop like i did!
