... and don't forget to disconnect the emegency/hand brake when you adjust the pads.

I used to use a feeler gauge. Eventually, I followed my mechanic's method of tightening the pads until the wheel doesn't turn anymore, then backing it off little by little until the wheel is free, with a slight hint of resistance from the pad/rotor.

Works great.

Once that's done, put back the e-brake cable.
