buck216 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 hi so I'm trying to do my front pads and disc on my N/A starlet s 1.3 and when i took the old ones out i noticed how tight they were in the calliper and were quite difficult to get out and when it tried to get the new set in they wont fit i thought they had just sent me the wrong ones but i got new ones today and they still don't as well and they say on the side of the box they came in that they fit my car but don't I'm at a loss Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sam44 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Clean up the brake pad carriers. They corroded and swell wear the pad contacts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
