New noise after rear brake overhaul

[midfat]

So I overhauled my rear brakes this weekend. Now, I have a very distinct knocking/pinging noise emanating for the rear driver's side wheel. Noise seems to present each time the wheel rotates one full revolution, forward and reverse. Definitely gets louder when I depress the brake pedal. I'm also getting a godawful squeal when I pull the parking brake at any speed.

In reading, there are conflicting reports that the rear rotor has to be clocked in some sort to the axle/hub. I'm confused by this. Aside from ensuring that the parking brake adjustments port in the rotor is aligned with the parking brake star adjuster, did I miss something?

Going to check the brake dust shield and the little slide clips the pads rest upon. Needless to say, it's all coming back apart this evening, but hoping somebody could clarify the brake rotor alignment, or offer other suggestions?

Did you ever find out what was your problem. I seem to be having a similar issue. I get a clicking noise from the park brake on the passenger side after I have driven awhile and things heat up. Took it apart and I can't find anything causing it. It seems to me that the pad starts to catch then it starts doing it. But really I'm not sure. Thanks

Define overhaul. New everything? Slap in pads? Or something in-between?

It's either your e-brake shoes (or any associated hardware) have come loose when you were putting the new rotor on or the brake dust shield. The rotor typically has no correct orientation other than matching up the holes for the lug studs.

Look for:

Casting flash in the slot at the back of the rotor where the back plate slots into.
Hardware as per above.
Did you rotate wheels? Look for stick on balance weights catching the rear calliper.

One question. Did you use O'reilly replacement disks in the back? Another member and I compared notes and discovered we both used the same aftermarket disks. We theorized that O'Reilly had a run of disks that were very slightly off. Either way, noise went away after a few thousand miles. All's fine now.
