Re: Rear brakes How to:
MikesMach talked about getting the piston notches lined up with the pad "nubs''... And of course, I missed the point of that statement until I tried getting the caliper over the new pads.
The piston was screwed in enough to get over the pads, but wouldn't go down enough to get the bolts back in. Evidently, the notches in the piston need to be at 6 and 12 o'clock to slide over the nubs on the back plate of the pads.
Once the notches lined up it all went back together pretty smoothly. But it took two hours to figure out. I'll do better on the other side. :>)
