Gentlemen, recently changed rotors and pads on 2002 GT. Replaced fluid, but now have dragging piston on one side. I guess the 'o' ring got screwed up pushing the piston in. Never changed one on a Mustang, but I usually just pump the piston out and change the ring. Anything I should do or not do here.

Thanks in advance,

Lonestar

Don't have the manual. How's your weather up there, any snow. Was in Bloomington 2 wks ago (my home town) and it was in the 60's.

Engine Suggestions on an engine rebuild. Stock cam/GT40Ps or aftermarket on both for a fun weekend driver?
