So, various screw-ups while Trying to track down a sound ( while driving ) like a metal wire scraping steel. Seems to be coming from the back, And stops when I hit the brakes. Going in to the parking brakes now. I do not know what looks normal and what does not. Posting a few pictures for some feedback. Right side first. No scraping sound when I turn the rear wheels while lifted off the ground.
Also have this part that fell off (squealer), can’t seem to get a thing back in--does it go on from the brake pad side and push through or just push through from the other side and then you hook the brake pad into it?
Pulled the wrong bolts at first (the ones holding the brake pad cage and not the whole assembly) and don't know the torque spec. Whole-assembly torque spec is 65 ft-lbs according to FSM, don't see a spec for the cage bolts.
See some metal shavings (normal?)
Cannot see a way to get rear left caliper assembly off rotor without disconnecting brake line. Either there some trick I'm missing, or the guy who did the brakes used a short line and put it on after he put the caliper assembly in place.
And what's this "match mark" thing in the FSM that I totally missed? Have I screwed anything up?
Parking brake hasn't worked since I drove a few miles with it on maybe a year back. Happy to adjust if I can, or disable 'til I can fix it if not.
Thanks for any help!
