hey guys, i just got some new brake pads and i got everything off any put them on, but now the bloody caliper wont go back on, and im working in basically no room, since the brake lines have no slack, and i cant pull it out far enough, and since theres no room, iu cant take the brake lines off because all my fucking wrenches are enourmous. any ideas?

 

did you push the piston back into the caliper?

 

not a chance....just came on to post that myself, i saw the picture and what not in the manual, but i didnt see a c-clamp, so i figured it wouldnt matter. so, when you push the piston back in, does it stay there? or will i need to leave the clamp on?

edit: anywho, thanks for the help monkey, sorry about getting pissed on the other thread

 

once you push it back, it will stay until the brake pedal is depressed. push it back, silde the caliper back on, bolt it up, and give the brakes a good pump or two before going anywhere.

 

alright thanks alot monkey, i was just getting furious with that damn thing, to the point where i threw a wrench across my garage and stormed inside with imaginary lat syndrome...

 

Please Dont Touch Your Brakes If You Have No Idea What You Are Doing !!!!$@#$@!!!!
