Re: Front Brakes How to:

Great write up!

To keep all questions sort of in a one stop shop.

Caliper with new pads will not slide over new rotor.

I've got the drivers side done. The rotor doesn't turn completely freely. It has a small bit of rub, but a buddy of mine tells me that's fine.

The passenger side though, I can't get the caliper with new pads of the new rotor. The front side of the caliper starts to slide over, but by the time it hits the slot in the middle of the pad it stops and just won't budge.

I took the cap off the reservoir on top of the master cylinder and the cap off the bleeder on the caliper.

Any advice? This is my first brake swap so use your dummy gloves! lol
