I will try that this weekend and see how it goes. Thanks btw. I am still open to anymore advice you may think of in the future!

It cannot be the backing plate. I know this because I did a test where I barely slid the rotor in and spinned it. I still got noise. And the scraping is not constant. It's almost as if the rotor is warped from the inside. Now what is also interesting is that if I push the rotor in with force, hold it in place, and spin it, the noise goes away. So I tried tightening the lug nuts on the wheel to make sure it presses the rotor as far back as possible and it still makes noise.

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum and I am eager to hear any advice you guys are willing to share. I have a JDM 2000 Subaru Legacy B4 w/ automatic transmission and recently been having issues with the parking brake or ebrake rubbing inside the rotor. I have taken the rear brake pads out, still makes noise when I spin the rotor. I have taken the calipers and caliper bracket or support and it still makes noise. I take the whole rotor out and I get no noise. I know it is not the back plate because I ruled that out by barely putting the rotor on the wheel hub (so there is no chance of the rotor scraping on the back plate) and I still get noise. So I know it is the shoes that are rubbing in the rotor. I have messed with the dial at the 6 o'clock position and zeroed it out completely and still get scraping sounds when I put my rotor back on. Any ideas of what it could be? Do I need a new rotor or do I need to mess with the parking cable? I have no clue what to do next. Any help is greatly appreciated.
