AHHH what is wrong with my caliper??

[aaron7]

Put new pads in my caliper and went to put it on... but the rotor hits the caliper mount. Tried to get this in the pic...

Any ideas??

Looks like the slide pins are seized and won't allow the bracket to slide in and out of the way.

Happens allot when pads are very worn out and the pins don't get lubed.

Where in Mass are you located??

I'm in Townsend. The ATC is on a trailer looking for a place to go for work to be done if you know anyone!

DC always got great advice and usually its easy to understand the way he describes things!

[aaron7]

Hmm, is there any way to unseize them? Are they sealed up or can you take it apart?

[Dirtcrasher]

They seize and rust closed with mud and water....

Plenty of calipers are ruined trying to get those pins free.

I use oxy acetylene and one pin I can drill a hole and get to the back side of it, then I turn that hole into a grease fitting.
