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???

That assumes you have a shop you cantrust. Who do you think lost or stripped most of those? I believe that taking the caliper off is much easier in the long run. You dont have to disconnect the line, just set up some way to support the caliper while it is off that is solid and impervious to brake fluid. I always take the rear off to change the pads, and make sure the clearance screw turns well, then reassemble everything and set the clearances, put on the covers and bleed bleed bleed bleeed bleed.
