Help - fitting gt4 calipers / disks


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

I've bought a set of celica GT4 calipers and I'm having difficulty fitting them to my ep82. The spacing is about 3/4mm out of where i need it to be. I cannot move the caliper backwards so need to move the disk forwards to get the right setup. If I move the disk forward, the stud bolts are not long enough for a secure fit (3 turns max).

I've got some new longer stud bolts and tried drilling out the existing stud bolts. What a nightmare. The metal is very hard and even with a new set of drills it's taken a couple of hours to get close to getting just one drilled out.

There must be an easier way. I've just tried to remove the plate with the 4 stud bolts attached but the nut turns with the axle so I can't get any leverage. I lowered one side of my car to the ground with the wheel attached to keep one side still and but it still turns (I'm sure that's not good).

Please help!!!!
