Maybe I'll loosen the mounting hardware on the door and then jack it up slightly and tighten. It's only a bit off, so it closes fine, it just visibly moves up as the door engages. BTW, this method often works for household doors where it doesn't align with the slot. Use longer screws to secure the hinges as most installers use dinky 1" ones.
I don't recall brakes being so difficult, but it fought me every step today. The bracket slide pins were differing materials between the calipers, one appearing to be grade 8, and the other the normal silver steel color. The steel ones didn't seem to be aligned as precisely as the grade 8. Had issues fastening the slide bolt boots where they needed to be.
Couldn't remember if the wear indicators were supposed to be at the leading or trailing edge of the rotor, so I Googled that and didn't find definitive answers, so I assume it doesn't matter much. All pads have them, so no figuring inside or outside. Briefly questioned if the brake bleed was supposed to be up or down. Struggled fitting the pads into the brackets.
Finally, dad had misplaced 2 of the caliper bolts. Found them as I left. Almost done with what should have been a 60min job (2hrs in). Got grease under the fingernails, which is fine because tomorrow is oil change day and I'll be under at least 4 vehicles.
