I replaced everything finally yesterday and think I have a small problem. I can't seem to get rid of the grinding noise that to me sounds like the new ceramics getting seated on the new rotor. I was thinking it could also be the e-brakes grinding out new notches on the drum of the rotor hat. Sound goes away (or hits a pitch that I don't care about at about 35). It is really embarrassing driving around with the grinding sound since it is SO distinctive. My only other thought is if the piston was supposed to be rotated into position with a certain tool before replacing the pad. I never had this type of problems with my other cars, and thought it may be Ford specific. Ideas?
