I have a 2003 Z66 WBH and replaced the front pads and rotors last weekend. I had to use mallet to remove the old pads from the caliper bracket where they slide. The new pads fit so tight that I had to use a mallet to get them into the bracket. I thought that was too tight, so I filed down the metal plate on the back of the pads so that they fit snug, but would still slide in the bracket. Has anyone else noticed this when doing their brakes? Was filing them down a good idea? Could this have caused the inboard pad not to make contact with the rotor and cause the rotor to rust?
The truck has about 32k miles on it, and the brakes I removed were the original equipment.
