I have a set of MMR dtss eliminators installed. I was putting on the rear calipers and the bleed screw on the bottom keeps hitting. I took it out and even flipped the eliminator around and the caliper still hits the hub housing. I have pushed the piston back and everything has been done correctly. Any suggestions?????

 

Seriously!?!? No one knows an answer to this dilemma?

 

Very weird. Can you take a pic. of the situtation? Once the evening rush logs in, maybe someone will chime in. GL.

 

Honestly I dont see how the bleed screw can hit the hub, eliminators or not. I JUST replaced all my calipers in the last week or two and the only problem I encountered (swapping the back from base model crap to T2 beefy) was a single bolt siezed in the hub assembly, the head snapped off, and i spent two days trying to remove said bolt without a torch or drilling.

 

I Have to training tonight. I will take pics tomorrow and post them.

 

If your bleed screws are on the BOTTOM as you said in your first post, the calipers are on backwards. You need to swap calipers left to right.

Bleeders ALWAYS need to be on the TOP of the caliper, otherwise you can't bleed all the air out.

 

LargeOrange is right but as I remember from my caliper swap the rear calipers have 2 bleeder screws. One to get fluid in initially then another to actually bleed the unit. But if it is hitting you might try switching left and right like LargeOrange said.

 

I believe the calipers he has have 2 bleeder screws--one top and one bottom. And there is really no way to reverse the calipers unless the parking brake lever on the caliper was removed during the installation. Something apparently is not assembled correctly.

 

Thanks for helping guys!!! It seems to be the case that I'm a complete idiot and was putting the calipers on backwards. Its ridiculous that I can work on engines all day but can't seem to do a simple brake install.

 

LOL. It's the simple things that get us.

 

close thread please!!
