You put the pads on backwards. Flip them around.

Changing your rotors would probably correct this

The rotors on my car are attached to the hub with a screw that is impossible to remove. I've tried everything amd can't get that bastard out.


That's what I call an OPP (other person's problem). Overly cranky suspension or brake fasteners go right to the mechanic.

Usually a 3/8 impact wrench with a proper impact bit will pull them off.

Those screws are not really needed. They are put there by the factory to keep the rotors held on the hub during assembly when the cars are moving down the line without wheels attached to them.

If you get the assembly screws out, replace the rotors and then reinstall your wheels with proper torque specs, you will be fine.

Best way I’ve found to get the assembly screws out is with an old fashioned impact driver, the kind you smack with a hammer.

Anytime you change your brake pads you should go ahead and change the rotor as well.
