rsglwagon Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hey all. I have a 1988 GL turbo wagon with disc brakes on the back. I'mtrying to install new pads but I can't seem to get the caliper tostretch enough to fit over the rotor. Any ideas or tips? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the rear calipers I think you just need to use a C-clamp to compress the caliper piston back into the caliper. On the fronts you need a brake tool to screw the piston back in.

rsglwagon Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Thanks. I realized (thanks to a friend of mine) at the end of it all I miss-aligned one of the pads. Once aligned and correctly installed, I had it done no problem. Sorry for the extra post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
