Shyam Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 How the fuck do you squeeze the discs into this little space!? Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gazza g Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Press the piston on the caliper all the way back. Should sit flush. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shyam Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 It is all the way in pal(see below), I used a g clamp to squeeze the piston all the way in.... the front pad seems to be sit above the bracket, is that right?Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 The outer pad is too far in. That needs pushing back in the carrier Then slide the carrier back on the slider pins Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shyam Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Thanks alot fellas, I would normally have the help of my dad but he got drunk and passed out so I was left to do it myself. I would have waited till the weekend for this but as you can see from the pictures below, they're dangerousSent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk Edited August 14, 2017 by Shyam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shyam Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) With your help, I've managed to get the pads into the calipers and get them bolted back on the car. After putting the reservoir cap back on, and going for a quick spin, I noticed my brakes are spongy as fuck... Do I need to bleed them?
