was changing the front brakes today and ended up as a retarded failcouldnt get the caliper away from the carrier which was fine as i had to take the whole lot off anyway to change the disc pushed the piston back into the caliper and finally got the new pads in but then it wouldnt go over the new disc, it seems to hit off the carrier as i try to slide the caliper + carrier back into position to bolt it up any suggestion what could be wrong or where i've went wrong |

Almost certainly piston isn't as far back in as it'll go.WIND IT MORE  EDIT: "it seems to hit off the carrier as i try to slide the caliper + carrier back into position to bolt it up" - I didn't understand any of this so ignored it, it might hold the key ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Put the carrier back on first and then fit the pads and the caliper.I suspect this will solve the problem, or at the very least give you a much clearer view of what the problem is. ________________________________________ Rich |

Cut / drill the heads off then. The pads should have come with a new set of bolts anyway.________________________________________ Rich |
