Do you have any idea how to remove the caliper so it could be shimmed with washers at the two outer mount points? The front nut can be removed, but I’m unsure how the rear caliper post is mounted and how to free it from it’s mount. Thanks in advance. Quality control sure is lacking on the assemblies, lol.

BaneChonda did you ever figure this out? Seems like everyone else has the opposite problem as you... If not, check to make sure that the caliper is free to slide/float on it's pins. It should have no problem sliding to the outside... If you pull the axle and then the caliper/bracket, the caliper should float/slide freely on the pins. Otherwise make sure that your pedal linkage is adjusted correctly and not already applying pressure to master cylinder.
