Re: Rear Brake Super Soft After Wheel Removal & Brake Work
Thats what I've been hinting at; dig all the grease and and make certain the caliper floats and centers over the rotor before putting pads in it.
- either it can't float / too much grease in that ^^ hole!
- brackets bent
- wheel is not aligned
Hydraulic lock induced by grease.. .. ..
^^Where this bolt goes into the main brake bracket assembly....^^If the bolt does not pass through that hole and bottoms out in the hole it would c0ck the caliper in the main brake bracket when threaded in. Could this hole have crap in it? The end of that bolt should not bind in that hole and should either pass through it (if not a blind hole) or be able to pass to full depth of the hole. I don't see a washer or spacer in the diagram that would limit the thread travel of the bolt at the head. If there was a spacer/washer it would not allow the bolt to travel as deep. When the bolt is in the hole the problem occurs....
