ok i pushed the piston back as far as it will go, put the pads in there along with the 2 bolts going thought them. now when i go to put them over the Rotor the ride brake pad seems like its to big to go over it. ive tried switching them around, didnt work. i even compared them to my old ones and they look the same.
anyone have any ideas on what the **** is going on??

is the piston in all the way? to get it in all the way you have to back off your parking brake adjustment.

Take a c-clamp and tighten it down over the piston to push it back in.

if its the caliper holder thas stopping it, then you can push it back, it will go, if not unlossen it and clean it up.

or take off parking brake , just the cable and little mount and back out that big ole screw in there, then put you clamp on and push the piston the rest of the way.

either theres to much fluid in ur rezzy... take the cap off like they said...


or ur parkin brake is adjusted 2 far in... take it off and put a block of plate on it... and then push the piston in...
