Breaks!

[Hypnose Zx2]

I got the new Brake Rotors on and i got the breaks on the Brake Caliper. pulled back the caliper. Now i cant get it back on.

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!

If you have breaks on your brake caliper, just replace it. Don't take chances with a repaired caliper.

[Hypnose Zx2]

Huh?
i got new breaks and new rotors

[Buster]

Huh?
i got new breaks and new rotors

Rotors are broken too?

Do you still have the receipts?

[Hypnose Zx2]

No there not broke

trying to put everything back together.

ANd it wont.

[Hypnose Zx2]

i can put the back break pad on and leave the front one off and get everything put together. But once i put the front one on it wont slide it!~

[j0hnZ]

How can you spell it breaks and then correctly spell brake caliper?

[Hypnose Zx2]

Wow.......
well THANKS! J0hnZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[j0hnZ]

You're very welcome good sir.

[Hypnose Zx2]

[j0hnZ]

I'm glad I could be of service I thought you trying to put breaks where the brakes went you might be having trouble with it.

That is wut johnz was emphasizing. Brakes are spelled w/ the "e" in front of the "k" and not the "b".

You have to bleed the piston that pushes the brake pads. There is a lil screw thing on the back of the caliper that you have to unscrew then depress the piston.

can you up pics ? i like to watch proceed

[j0hnZ]

In all seriousness though you didn't get back calipers for the front did you cause those screw back in?

[mechtech]

Are you talking about rear discs?
There is an adjuster screw in the caliper that needs to be reset.
Sometimes tolerances stack up, and large rotors and large pads just won't go on together.

Lawlz I just read some of the beginning posts in here looks like Buster was thinking he broke his calipers and rotors and shiite.

Ok after reading again Did you press the caliper piston all the way back in?

[Buster]

I didn't really think that...just trying to teach the kid something. :)

Thats what I was going to post. Thats the only real reason I can think that it wouldn't fit.

Use the old brake pads and a c-clamp to compress the piston back into the bore. That should take care of fitting issues.

[Canuck]

Yep yep yep it don't fit cuz you gots to compress ze piston back!! If u no do dis den u iz scrrrrewwwed!

Yes I know that is some terrible grammar and such but whatev!

[Hypnose Zx2]

i got it!!!!!!
the screw things also move i didn't know.

[Canuck]

screw things???

[Hypnose Zx2]

The blots things....

where they screw in

[00zx2s/r]

still lost... lol screw things on where? the pad, rotor, caliper?

[Hypnose Zx2]

caliper

The piston in the rear disc caliper can't be compressed . The piston is run in and out with the adjusting screw , the piston is on a threaded stud .

The front caliper piston can be compressed , has to be almost flush with the housing . Watch you don't tear the dust boot .
