Reply to "Rear brakes"

icoleMember

So the caliper was rubbing the brake disc, or my dad ground some of the caliper away for clearance. The bolt that goes through the original mount and the caliper is too close to the axle. I removed the calipers, and switched the spacers to from left to right. Now the trailing edge is gently touching the outside of the brake. Now applying the brakes should pull the caliper away from the disc. The bracket was aluminum, and I am thinking that steel would be better. The brakes still make a lot of noise when I get on them hard, but I have not been able to leave mi 1/8 mile driveway, because I have both of my toddlers, and I have to take them with me. Maybe when my wife gives me some time I can do some more driving.
