Brake pads dragging after change
I replaced my brake pads on Monday (the old ones looked awful, wow), and I've noticed that they drag now. It's not enough that I'm getting a noticeable drop in fuel economy, although I can see it boost harder off the line and coasts to a stop a little faster than usual ... basically drives normal though and the wheels don't get any hotter than they did before. When I lift the wheel off the ground you can really feel the resistance when turning it by hand (and hear it scraping). What did I do? I used MB brake pads from the dealer, MB brake paste, and everything looks fine. I bedded them in after installing them. Brake fluid level looks fine (I used MB fluid to refill since I bled some out to get the caliper piston in). Brake pedal feels normal and it stops on a dime. Where should I start?
