[QUOTE="DA BOSS 13, post: 12850671, member: 142450"] MAN! They are still using those calipers! Go to the parts store and get the "cube", it has different pins on the faces of the cube for different screw in calipers. Using a rachet and extension with the correct face of the cube to match your piston, screw the caliper in until the pins line up with the pad and there is .040 to .060 clearance between the pads and the caliper when assembled. The caliper piston has only .125" of hydraulic travel. If you provide two little clearance, the pads can drag and ruin your pads and rotors, if you provide TOO MUCH clearance the piston ends it's travel without compressing the brakes. I found this out when I was young and inexperienced doing brakes a Lincoln Mark VII!!! On a final note, on this brake set up ALWAYS USE YOUR PARK BRAKE, because the park brake adjusts the caliper piston out as the pads wear. So technically you can wear away the pad and have no back brakes. [/QUOTE]
