    Ebrake rubs on every rotation

    So basiclly i got some new rotors and one wouldnt quite fit over the ebrake so i used the lugnuts to get it on. Now once every time it goes around it rubs in one spot

    The rotor has to be tight bolted on for it to rub. It wont do it if i just hold it up to the hub and spin it. Also i put the old rotor back on and now it does it.

    maybe i bent the ebrake shoes? i switched them around it seems like it might have switched sides, but im not sure. im tempted to just take and leave them off

    is it also possible that i fucked up the hub using lug nuts to get the rotor on? (they were tightend by hand with not much force)

    thanks for your help

    Have you tried adjusting the ebrake in the wheel? Have you tried loosening the ebrake cables? Maybe I misunderstood, but it sounds like your ebrake is set too high for your new rotors.
