Doing my brake pads and rotors, one wheel I had no problems with. Next wheel I did everything correct, removed the bracket cleaned and greased it. But my pads don’t want to slip into the clips/bracket. What the hell is going on?
I literally had to lightly pound the pads into the bracket with a rubber mallet.
is this acceptable? Will it fix itself once I bleed the brakes? Or did I mess up? Am I misssing anything? Please help, I’m stumped. A few hour job is turning into a two day ordeal.
the pads are snug on the rotor, but they’re so snug the metal Y clip thing that you put in the holes isn’t causing the brakes to slip out as they should.
first photo: the angle the pad should go in and pop it but it won’t
second photo: how snug the first pad is after banging it in. With the inside pad doing the same thing, stuck at an angle having to be banged into the bracket.
