Scotty Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 You can adjust the height I believe with the level control, by shortening the link. Have someone confirm this first..however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Rear brake pads? Are you talking about the caliper pins? If so, the rear or upper one just slide out (inboard) after you pivot the caliper up on it to clear the rotor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydone Posted September 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 rear caliper does not clear rotor unless you disconnect parking brake cable iknow it must be simple but i havent figured it out yet duh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
