Awesomest thing I ever did!!!! NOT!

[Wind-Farmer]

What is wrong with these pictures............... this is AFTER 400 miles!!!! LOL, ROFL, LMFAO...PUKE PUKE PUKE.

By the way, this almost made me puke when I saw it.

 

[Ateup]

I must be missing something.

 

[Wind-Farmer]

yeah thats what I thought when I installed it....

 

[OV10stang]

Never saw one with the pad facing that way before... spark show??? Got any pics of the other side of the disc?

 

[Wind-Farmer]

hahahaha...just nasty noise show and ruin my rim show and ruin my caliper show... brake pad was still good although

I kept telling myself..."it's the zinc coating wearing off, it's the zinc coating wearing off etc." until i finally took it apart. Then the puking began.

this is the bad side...not AWFUL..but as you can see the metal shavings caused everything to rust and go to crap...I had a PILE of melted metal in the crevice of my A-arm, looking like welding slag.

The wheel,

So.... the metal pad backing was facing the rotor instead of the pad?

 

[Wind-Farmer]

Yes, super good stopping

 

[The Fang]

Looks painful.

 

[blown1989saleen]

damn! good thing you caught it but then again how could you ignore it any longer right? lol

 

[Wind-Farmer]

Had a few to many of them there cold beers installing I guess.

Rick from Baer was SUPER awesome and got me hooked up with everything I need to get everything squared away. All is well now, just figured I'd share my interesting experience with you guys.

 

[JimsWhiteGT]

Hate that feeling of knowing you did something stupid lol. I backed into my sisters 07GT with with my 05GT a few months ago.....wasn't pretty but everything is back to like new now.

Glad you got it all fixed.

This is why you should ALWAYS have a horizontal line painted on the garage wall. When the beer can pyramid reaches the line, it's time to stop doing maintenance.

Are you flippin' nutz? The man can't put pads on the right way and you want him to build a pyramid?

 

[Steve491]

Holy Crap. It takes balls to post pictures of that and claim you did it. I wouldn't tell anyone, let alone post it on a public forum.

True statement. My bad.

 

[Wind-Farmer]

Well I screwed up, I am not afraid to admit it. Figured I would give you all a chuckle, and maybe make ya feel a little better! Hell, its only a $2,000 brake kit.

It was pretty embarrassing calling Baer and telling them, "yeah I think a piston in my caliper is stuck" and they were like "uhhhh we have never heard of that" so they told me to take it apart and get take pictures and get serial numbers etc. So I was like OK,

Then I started taking it apart and...yeah, needless to say I did not send them any pictures LOL.

Just said, ok, price me out a rotor and pads LOL.
