While flushing and bleeding my brakes, I broke the siezed front passenger bleeder off. I had kept all the part numbers from when I did the one-ton upgrade, so I got another Raybestos FRC4417 caliper. When I pulled the old caliper, I noticed the disk edge had been rubbing on the caliper. It touches at the last inch or so on each end of the caliper, there is plenty of clearance in the middle. The worse area is 0.038" deep.
Question is, should I grind out this area on the new caliper (would this weaken the caliper?). Or should I just let the new one wear in like the old one did?.
