I'm not familiar at all with how to properly adjust this type of brake. The Park website didn't really give much help. Can you, or anyone else here, shed some light on how to adjust this particular type of side pull?
I'll assume the brake block on the right side (if front) or left side (if rear) is hitting because you couldn't keep the body of the brake assembly from twisting when you tightened down the fastener. So, put your wrench on that bolt and move it just slightly in the loosening direction (left) while at the same time using your other hand to persuade the body of the brake assembly to simultaneously move a little bit until it's off the rim.
Please let me know if there's a better way. I've never had a problem doing this.
