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 =\ --------------------  |

QUOTE(rjbibeau @ Feb 15, 2005 - 1:10 PM) use a c clamp man [right][snapback]246310[/snapback][/right] he shouldn't need one since he isn't installing new pads.. just has to take them out and reinstall them when the caliper is back over the rotor.. but if u do need to push the piston back .. yea use a c clamp or or a wrench and ur hands and press it back with ur hands.. it should slide back that easy ... of yea don't forget if ur doing that.. to lose the cap on the brake fluid Res.. -------------------- |
