Rear Caliper HELP...

[jrobinsonchicag]

I swapped my motor and rear end from a v6 to the Bullitt. I've swapped out the complete rear end, so the mounting brackets, moan braces, and all requires elements are there...

My question is, is there a difference between the rear calipers? The pads just will not fit over the rotor and seem to be so damn tight that the axle will not spin. What gives?

Make sure the piston is the retracted all the way. It should go in pretty far. It should be the spin type where instead of just pushing it in, you have to turn it to get it back in there.

Yeah, did that... turns out the idiot at the parts store was more interested in trying to sell me brake lube than pull the right parts. I gave me v6 pads not the correct Bullitt pads.

Cool! Glad it worked out. Didnt even think of checking that!
