new brake pads on th front rotor don't fit... Yes the piston is pushed in, it is the outside pad thats to thick to go in between the rotor and the outside wall off the caliper. Both pads are the ssame thickness anybody have this parblem before ? Could i just sand the brakes pad until it fit ???

Please let me know asap !

Thanks

Max

please...

no> don't sand the brake pads man!!!

they should fit> the pads can be a real pain in the a$$ to fit first time around!

but make sure you got the right ones> i've had oem and uprated and they have all usually fitted correctly with a little bit of work!

the pisotn takes some real pushing in... usually by jimmying something against it

try what i did, push on the inside of the caliper where the bolts go through

Use a hammer to free up the adjusters. The adjusters are the metal sleeves with the rubber boots that "adjust" to the rotor as the pads wear down. Over time, these adjusters like to freeze up, making it a pita to reinstall the caliper with brand new, thicker pads.

Thanks everyone,

Gro Harlem was right... they were jammed up but now brakes are excellent. I had some kvr cross drilled rotors before and now the oem do just as good of a job if not better. Cross drilled are not worth it (had cardon metalic pads with those too).

I you want real brake upgrade get a big brake kit.
