Hi everyone,
I have finally taken the plunge and tried to replace my front brake pads. With the inevitable help of you tube and a number of posts on this forum I set about the 30 task this morning.
Removing the calliper was not a problem, pads out - not a problem, pistons fully home - ok - new pads in - all good - Calliper back on er no.
I cannot for the life of me get the calliper back onto the disc, it just won't line up. It is almost as if the disc is in the wrong position.
I am clearly doing something wrong but cannot figure it out ? Do I need to align the wheel to the calliper, or is there some sort of magic trick to get the calliper back on ??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
For reference I have replaced with EBC FA196, and if I put the old worn pads back in I can get the calliper on no problem. 30 minutes job turned into an unsuccessful 3 hours and lots of swearing.
