Brake pros!!! I need your help!

So about three weeks ago, I replaced my rotors, pads, lines and brake hardware. Everything has been going great. Then this morning, the front right assembly is making noise. It sounds like the pad is hitting the rotor or "skipping" on it. Its really noticable when I brake slowly; you hear a grinding noise thats intermittent until you come to a complete stop. Then, as you start to move again, you hear it about 3 more times and then nothing. But like clockwork, it happens every time I brake. Granted, it just started this morning, but I still have no idea what could be wrong and doubt it will fix itself. Any help???

take it apart and put it back together.. also check the screws that hold the caliper in place they might be loose......

Agreed.
Inspect the pads and rotor surface.
COuld be something on either, maybe the pad developed a fault.

You'll never know until you disassemble.
