My conversion ran into a little snag today. I could not install my rebuilt calipers with the backing plates installed . When i removed the backing plates the calipers would bolt on ,but when i tightened the bolts the caliper rubs the rotor . im wondering if the wrong calipers came back from the rebuilder, do i need to shim out the rotor??? . Strange I thought this would be a ten minute job .

7mm spacers between the caliper1/2s = 20mm rotor. 11mm spacers = 24mm thick rotor. Looks like you have 20mm rotors.
That said, I think John and Jeff are on to something. The shields go on either side. Make sure you have them on properly. And, many struts have those seal seats that Jeff circled removed so make sure yours are there. |
