Front Caliper clearance.
Johnwebley:
Does the piston push back into the caliper?
Sometimes the rubber seal loses its flexibility
So the pads can bind on the disc

Does the pad move freely in the caliper?
Almost all the pads I have fitted, Needed paint removing from the circumference
Just straw clutching

Sorry John, yes free to move. The rear pad is 13mm thick, which includes the bonded metal part. And Ken, wheel bearing retainer is on the left (n/s). Think the photo makes it look like it’s not fitted right.
Oddjob:
Just measured my SBS ceramic rear pad and not including the lump on the back of the pad it's 12.7mm thick. I did fit it into a rear carrier and found the lump on the back made the pad rock, there's a corresponding lump on the carrier in the middle and I'm not exactly happy about the way it makes it rock, I may check my original Honda pads for the same lump, if it's not there I'll grind the lump off the back of the SBS pad.
