Brake pad install problem
Just installed new pads and rotors on 97 Blazer. I used a c clamp to push pistons in but new pads were so tight i had to tap the calipers down over rotors with a rubber mallet to get the bolts to fit. On test drize rotors got red hot and smoked. Did not occur again this morning but I am worried. Is it possible that the new "mid-grade" pads are a little too thick? I have never had so much trouble fiting the new pads over the rotor. How tight is too tight???
