how much gap between brake disk and pad???
this part is hard for me to get right because for good braking it seems i have to have the pads so close it almost brakes while the car is idoling and when i throtle the brakes let off??? it i put them to lose they dont brake at all. but i am concerned if this is right. I have them close but does that create drag on the engine??? I honestly don''t know if i am doing it right and want to get it right. How much separation is ok on pad/disk??? i have mine as close as possible. Is this right.

Just an easy way to do it is push the pad towards the diff and make shure that there is no more than 1mm of screw showing. Really you want alittle less than that, you dont want to tune your brakes from there you want to tune them from the linkage. Just make shure they spin freely and are even and not too loose like I said.

I use the back side of an xacto blade, it's easier than trying to stick a washer in there.
