Default New Brakes. Now Parking Brake Grinding.

Hey guys,

So, yesterday I redid my brakes (pads and rotors) while it was a nice afternoon here in Seattle. After getting all of the OEM replacement parts put on the car and while going on my test drive my rear drivers-side wheel starts making an horrible sound. I limp the car back home and find that the rotor that I had put on there is rubbing against the dust shield/housing for the parking brake and that they are grinding together. I have attached a few pics and would like to know if anyone knows whats going on and/or how to remedy this problem.

FWIW, I have the parking brake adjusted properly and the tightness of that is not the issue...I think.

Thanks!!

Ok, so after inspection and calling one of my mechanic friends over we discovered that it is the housing/dust shield for the e-brake that was bent a little bit when the old rotor was taken off.
