I just installed some new Brembo rotors and Hawk HPS pads both axles. Every corner went alright except for the passenger rear. First, I had difficulty getting the bolts back in for the caliper. Then when we dropped the car and tried to move it, it seemed like the brake was clamped in the passenger rear. We screwed the piston in all the way and tried adjusting how the pads set and still the same problem. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks.

 

You probably know this, but the bolts on the rear calipers are different lengths. You may have got them switched and that is causing your problems.

 

hey yentz, call me

 

Did all the rotors go on easily? Some rotors have multiple bolt configurations. Sometimes it may seem to fit on alright, but may actually be just a little off and cause it to get stuck. It may fit a few different ways, however only one way is correct. My friend had done this to his car and when I got it all taken apart noticed a big scratch in his new rotors because he tried to drive his car a few feet with it stuck like that.

 

ocuh.. there u burn the new rotor..

 

Also check that you mounted the parking brake cable correctly.

 

The bolts are in the right places. Caught that problem right away.

 

The front rotors were keyed, so they were easy. I will remount the rear rotors to see if that helps.



Is there a wrong way to remount it? I just mounted it reverse of removal.
