What size wheels can I fit? Group: Members Posts: 4,645 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region |
Ok, a few minutes ago I asked about getting to the allen bolt that is accessible through the trailing arm in order to spread the caliper and get the new pads on. Allan(headrage) was kind enough to give me the correct info. However, I still can't see and/or move shit back up in there. Is it easier to just take the whole caliper off? So far I have made zero progress on spreading the caliper to get the new pads in. Is this really this difficult???

Ok, it is done and all is put back together! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
Two problems: 1 - My pedal has that sinking feeling then with a few pumps is ok. I thought that I would not need to bleed the brakes when all I did was replace pads? Am I wrong? 2 - My E-brake is useless. The Pelican article mentions nothing about this and they don't have any other articles on it. I checked. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Any advice on problems 1 or 2? Thanks for the help as this is obviously my first time venturing into the brakes. |
