Just got a set and can't get the front rotor to stop rubbing. Tried every trick in the book. Even checking the rotors straightness.

Any adjustment I'm missing?

Any tricks?

Any way to make it open just a lil more?

If everything is brand new and the pads are rubbing pretty hard but aren't retracted all the way, you can try bleeding out a little fluid from the system at the caliper:

find the bleed screw on the caliper and while pushing out the pads with a screwdriver, loosen the bleed screw until fluid can seep out. Push the pads as far out as they will go, and while maintaining positive pressure on the pads with the screwdriver (you don't want air getting sucked back in), tighten the bleed screw again.

This will allow the pads to pull back a little more.

that's all good advice ^^^ you also might want to check:

make sure the caliper is aligned with the rotor, not just spacing on both sides betweeen the pads, but make sure the spacing is the same on the front and the back.

you can easily twist calipers when tightening them up, make sure to tighten each bolt bit by bit to avoid this.

If it's metal to metal sound, it's the pad spring.
