Yuo would have a real tought ime bending your caliper, you sure its not your disc? There are two 12 mm(i think 12) bolts that hold it onto the holder. Take a look at it and I think you can figure it out.

check and make sure your axle nut is tight and your rotor hub is on in the right position if its not that then u should get a new rotor, also if you had the caliper off recently make sure you bolted it on the right side if u have it on the wrong one it will rub, also is your parking brake hooked up? if it is try blocking it off because they cause alot of drag and wear out your pads:cool:

Get yourself what is called a "praking brake block off" and remove the stock POS parking brake.
I also recommend removing the stock clutch leaver and perch along with the P/B assembly. Get an aftermarket EZ pull type lever and perch.
The block offs run about $12 for the basics and EZpull levers start around $25.
