Abyx Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Who hands these people a wrench sometimes? I just don't get how you can even do this! Put one on right side up, the other upside down? HOW? I used to see this all the time; I can't even do this when I try to! And yes I've tried, haha. I don't even know how to get these things off; it's a shame because one of the rotors is brand new and the pads are in good shape - good for spares. Took this today when I swapped front axles.
dasbulliwagen Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 I hope I'm not alone on this, but I think I need more explaining on what is the problem in the pic.
shawn Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 brake pad on the wrong side? lol. i watched my mechanic try and put them on backwards the other day. - he (and me) were temporarily baffled ---------- but the apprentice over-heard us and knew what was up right away. total lolz, lol.
Abyx Posted March 11, 2012 Author Posted March 11, 2012 The pads are on incorrectly; you know how when you remove a brake caliper you unbolt it, and then pry it backwards away from the mount, and it pivots on one end away from the mount? It's impossible to do that with this, because there is no pivot point...both ends are secured on the steering knuckle. I just don't know how people do it; but here's my latest P/O failure - Custom pipes bent wrong. Great.
