Hi all,

Im having issues replacing brake pads. Got the caliper swung up and changed out the pads but cant get the damn thing to go back down.

I have screwed the piston back in and there's plenty of clearance on the inside. Its the outside of the caliper im having issue with. There's about an 8th of an inch of there that is not clearing. Even putting the old pads on wont fit.

I've tried using a c-clamp to move the caliper outwards but it doesnt budge.

Also the caliper doesnt move very easily. I've got to use a screw driver and pry to swing it up and down.

What Im I missing here?

Thanks.
