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.

Re: Calliper question
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.
