how are ya'll doin. Im doing my brakes as we speak, but i cant fit bith new pads in because they are much thicker than the ones i took off. How do i make the brake piston retract so both new pads can fit around the rotor? Thanks!

My back left wheel on my 96 XLT seems to be scraping on something every rotation. It is only audible at slow but yuo can hear it speed up as the wheels spin fast so i know it isn't a shock. Could be mud in my wheel but i dunno, anybody out there know what the problem could be? thanks
