[HELP] brake upgrade problems
I GOT to get this done.
I got the fronts pretty much done now, excpet for the stupid bolt that broke.
I'm doing the backs now, I had to take the wheel wells off to get room for my torque wrench.
Question:
I am putting the pads in, but there isn't room now for the rotors to fit in.
I think I have the piston depressed as much as it can, but there still isn;t enough room.
Any suggestions??

Did these come as a set? Are the pistons fully recessed before you tried to put the pads in? I am sure they are and that is probably a stupid question I am just trying to picture where you are at in the install.

For future reference, just crack the bleeder a little and the piston(s) will push back into the bores a lot easier. That takes the fluid pressure off them. :thumbs:
