When comparing the new and the old rotor, everything is the same, except the inner diameter on the center hole, which is around 0.5-1mm smaller on the new rotor. I've tried to refit the wheel, and force the rotor into place, without any luck. The rotor is 2-3mm from being where it should be.
Do i have the wrong rotor, or do i have to either expand the hole on the rotor, or decrease the diameter where its mounted? The car is a 97` 6GC T20 with rear disk brakes. The disks where bought for this exact model. EDIT: Look at the bottom for the new problem.. This post has been edited by skogs: Oct 3, 2011 - 10:01 AM |

I've now mounted everything. But after 2-3mins of driving, the disks and caliper gets scorchingly hot, i can hear something boiling and ticking in there. This happends on both left and right rear brakes, so it isnt just the stuck caliper thats the problem.
Any ideas? Why is the rear brake engaged at all times? |
