Ok, so I bought some new rotors from ebay,... I had never pulled apart the caliper from the rotor to look at it so, my mechanical skills are pretty much crappy.. anyway, I took it off and took of the rotor, I put the new rotor in just to find out it is a tad wider than the stock ones, same fit, same diameter, just a tad wider, what do I do to fit them? The caliper wont fit cuz the pads are just to close together/.. thnx.

 

You usually need to compress the piston in the caliper back in. It can be done with a C clamp or i believe they sell special tools to do it also.

 

but wont it be pressing against the rotor once I take the c-clamp off? how do I adjust the separation lenght?

 

After reassembling, you pump the brake until the pedal firms up. That firm feeling is the pad touching the rotor.

 

make sure you tourque EVERYTHING down when your done. and dont forget to use brake cleaner on the new rotors.

 

Done, thnx! they work great

 

2nd that on torque. use some loc-tite on the 2 caliper bolts. one of mine came off once and that was not fun. good thing i was going slow. big rattling as the caliper was hitting the inside of the wheel
