You replaced the rear pads and rotor on a 2003 Camry there is not enough clearance between the pads for the rotor how do you make the clearence?
GETTING CALIPER & NEW PADS ON ROTOR I'M NOT exactly sure what you're asking but I think I know. Here goes: I think the problem you're having is that you can't get the caliper assembly (that the new pads sit in) back on, over the rotor. This is because as the old brake pads wore down, the piston inside the caliper moved closer to the rotor. What you need to do is take the new pads out of the caliper assembly. In the center, you will see the round solid end of the piston. What you have to do is get the piston pushed back into the caliper. Try using a LARGE "C" clamp. One side of the clamp on the caliper backside and one side of the clamp on the piston side. Carefully squeeze the clamp together, and the piston will very slowly go back into the caliper. Keep squeezing it until the piston goes all the way back in. Now when you put the new pads back on the caliper, there should be enough room between the pads to slide it over the rotor. Hope this answered your question! Good Luck!! <<ADR>>
