Hello
I have recently had the front hub off my truck, replaced Bottom suspension, Suspension shock arm etc track rods and as part of that removed the brake calliper. on reassembly I am finding that the brake calliper edge is touching the disc. Have I just done something silly like not lined it up right or is there likely to be a bent disk . the wheel and disk turns before I put the wheel nuts on but jams as I tighten them with or without tyre - actually touches the edge of the calliper. pads are free moving. Any ideas most welcome.

Ok ... So got home looked at brakes took them off again... At this point ,my neighbour comments,' oh you haven't forgotten any bits and points at the 2 washers caught on the tool box . So I must confess it was me being a donut and now all is as it should be.
