Default HELP** Just put on new calipers, rotors and pads and something is grinding???

This past weekend i put new rotors and pads all around and two new calipers on the front of the integra. but the thing is the right front wheel is grinding againest something and the car has low pedal pressure. we bled the brakes twice and it still has low pressure.

i am clueless and broke now to fix it. i have to wait a week and half to get paid b4 i can fix it. anyone have any ideas?

p.s its hella irritating!

Is the dust shield scrapping on anything? How did you bleed it? Rear/pass, front/dr, rear/dr, front/pass?

You may need a new brake master cylinder too.

Yea your supposed to start furthest away from the master cylinder I never do but in your case it wouldn't hurt to try. I would also bleed either a big bottle or two little bottles of brake fluid through it. Also what Kinda of calipers did you get? If they're bigger like GSR's on an LS you need to get a bigger master cylinder.

Well Honda's have diagonal brake channels so you need to do furthest, closest, furthest, closest.

And yeah make sure it's air-tight so you don't get air in the lines.

Ive never had a problem in ANY honda ive bled brakes in going RR, LR, RF, LF. Ive done more than 6-7 different Hondas and never had a problem..

Also if your rotors are bigger(like a big brake kit or something) if the lower ball joint is worn, the lower control arm bolt could be hitting the rotor... Its happened to me.. Very rare problem, but it is an option.
