Welcome to the HQ! This is a great site and all the people here are very helpful! It soulnds like to me that your caliper is binding some how. If it is bending your brake rotor when you push on the pedal then your slides are not sliding for some reason. Are you sure when you put the rubbers back in your slides you didnt get one of them wadded up in there?

you spacer or bearings may be worn too much in the axle. unbolt your disc and see if the caliper slides good.
