R1 Pads not fitting
 

Hey all, i recently ordered a set of R1 Rotors and brake pads. I got the rotors installed fine. But i cant get the new pads to fit over the rotor. Any ideas? i figured they should fit since they came with the rotors.

just a hunch, but is your brake pistons engages slightly.. ?

Be carefull, dont mess it up, or your ABS wont like it..

Get a C-clamp and push the piston in a little with the brake fluid resivoir cap off. Watch to make you brake fluid doesn't come up too far as you turn the C-clamp. this will get some pressure off the piston.

Sears also sells a brake caliper piston depression tool for like $10 one of the best chepaest specialty tools to add to your tool cabinet the c-clamp way is soooo cromagnon...

ahh thanks guys, that did the trick. Fits beautifully now. thanks again

how's the braking with those? I'm thinking of getting some R1's soon also.

I was quite impressed with the difference from my old ones. And quiet as ever. havnt had them for long obviously, but i have a good feeling about them
