Another disc brake conversion question
I'm in process of converting rear brakes on my F250 to disc. Using 75 K20 parts. Got it all together, but there is no clearence between the rotor and pads. I can move the rotor by hand, but there is significant drag. The pads do have shims, but I thought those were for noise more than spacing. Can I remove them?
I also want to confirm that the spring clips are for the inner pad to keep it positioned in the piston. I'm guessing since I have no reference.

Yeah if your using new rotors you should have them machined. You can remove the shims to gain clearance and if it squeals they make a liquid disc brake quiet you can apply to the back of the pad.
The spring clip should go into the caliper piston to hold the pad in place.
