This is both sides so i thought maybe wrong rotors and tried to put old ones back on and still had the same issue. What am i doing wrong here?

The rest is basic aggravations: Hardware for pads - is that identical and hardware if any that clips inside a caliper on properly? Most use a bracket that is really holding the pads in place with forces on them also must be free and lubed if out just do that. If not free it isn't going back together those sold separately. Yes many you push down on a caliper while hovering it over new pads can or need to compress anti-rattle things (for lack of better word) just so then bolts line up. Rotors are either centered by nuts flush with them or not at all (IDK what you bought) must be in place and stay there while doing this. A trick of mine is just put a couple lug nuts on sometimes backwards in type allows puts pressure on ones than might tilt for you makes it near impossible - not all are going to be identical so I'm not looking it all up. Piston(s) must be retracted fully and done properly is tricky to bleed out right there not push old fluid back yet no air allowed in. If, if - these calipers are also the parking brake with a cable on them retracting pistons another way is how or nothing will work. Another "if" cable isn't free or was adjusted away from this area that has to be put back should never really need adjustment unless new cables or another reason. #1 again: Do one side at a time look at the other if new to this and save old parts to match up that they are in fact right. Any core values (none mentioned that you've done) take back later or however that show works how you got the parts. Easy yet any can frustrate some just more straight forward some fussy, T Sidom Veteran / Moderator Jul 28, 2019, 5:28 PM Post #3 of 3 (1301 views) Re: Bolt holes not lining up Sign In I'm guessing you got a handle on it by now, but if not, make sure you have the piston retracted all the way. If it is and this is a US model, post the part # for the brk pads so we can see if there are any different options for pads.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
