Guest bansheeman654321 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 (edited) i cant get the break thing ont eh rotor, it wount fit, were the deos the rotor fit between on the break thing, i think its the break caliper or sometihng, but i dunno were it fits on it seems to tight I can't get the brake thing onto the rotor. It wouldn't fit. Where does the rotor fit in between on the brake thing. I think it is the brake caliper or something? But I don't know where it fits? It seems tight.

Screamin_Banshee Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 I think hes havin truble with the brakes..... Which brake are you having trouble with? Rear?Front?

boonman Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Nice, Screamin, I beat ya by seconds my cuz!! Anyways, after going through that post S L O W, I think I got the solution. You must push the piston back into the caliper when you change the brake pads. Otherwise, the new pads, with the new brake material on them will not provide enough gap to slip the disk in between them. Here is a shot of my rear brakes... You can see the outside pad. The other pad is on the other side of the disk. Most all disk brakes work on the same principle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bansheeman654321 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 i am getting so mad i couldnt type, i dont know weather the brake rotor fits between the two squarish like things on teh brake caliper, or between teh sqaure things and teh circle thing, its hard to explain, but it doesnt seem like there is a big enough gap to fix it onto the brake rotor no matter where i put it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 front/rear, don't really matter. There is supposed to be a pad against the round thing-(called a piston) and a pad against the squarish looking thing. Then, the rotoe goes in between the two. In order to fit the rotor into the caliper in between the pads, You must push the piston back into the caliper when you change the brake pads. Otherwise, the new pads, with the new brake material on them will not provide enough gap to slip the disk in between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bansheeman654321 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 IT WOUNT FIT THOUGH, and im talking rear, but there is nto enough room for it to fit:'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 There has to be enough room. You have to manually push the piston back inside the caliper. Like the "turtle" but different. Hopefully, someone's gotta know about the turtle??? How about the road map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bansheeman654321 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 but i dont knw which space to put the rotot betweem, there are two spaces, one between two squarish things, and one between a round thing and the two square things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 stop with the anger man. Please. The rotor goes inbetween the two brake pads. That's why the brake pads are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txblueshee Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Come on man.... it's not that hard. Slide the pads over the rotor...... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boonman Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Rear brake setup see #9, them are the brake pads. The rotor goes in between those.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
