ok... so i tried changing my wheel bearing today, and it didnt go so well... now i can get my brakes back on... i unbolted the whole assembly with the brake pads from the steering nuckle.... then i slid them off the rotor, etc...
well im trying to put them back on, and i cant get them around the rotor... i didnt touch anything on them... how do i get them back on? any help would be great, then i can drive my car to a place and have someone fix it for me =\ --------------------  |

this is a really simple fix...unbolt the top of the calipper .. take the pads out... then put the caliper back around the rotor and bolt it back on... then slide the pads back in close the top and bolt it back up ..... there should be know need to push the piston back since ure not intalling new pads... unless for some reason u pushed down ur breaks while the calipers where off..
