Author Message   Ratsmc Posted on Wednesday, November 02, 2011 - 05:51 pm:        Well, I'm either an idiot or I am missing something very obvious here. Replacing the rear pads. Unfortunately, my Service Manual is still in storage since I just moved. I've gotten the caliper off and the retainer springs installed on the new pads. However, I cannot figure out how to get the pads into the caliper. I can get one in but the other simply will not fit. I'm fairly certain that the piston is fully compressed into caliper. WTF am I doing wrong here?   Ratsmc Posted on Wednesday, November 02, 2011 - 06:46 pm:        Never mind. The problem turned out to be that I'm an idiot. I wasn't getting the pads seated all the way on the lug. Turned a 10 minute job into an hour.   Xodot Posted on Wednesday, November 02, 2011 - 08:39 pm:        lmao - sounds like something I do! good thing it's a hobby and not a job
