Hi folks

Just replaced the rotors in my front brakes and they're both a *very* 
tight fit in the calipers. I know that the pads are supposed to just 
make contact with the disc surface, but these seem extremely tight. (As 
in, no free rotation at all). This is the first time I've had to do 
this, so I'm not totally sure what the acceptable amount of friction 
is. However, gut-feel says that this is wrong.

Will everything settle in over the first few miles, or does this mean 
that I'm going to be spending my Sunday learning how to rebuild 
calipers ?

TIA

- Derek
