hello
I was hoping someone might be able to offer a bit of advice.
I’ve just replaced the brake disc, pads, callipers and wheel bearings on the salisbury axle of my 110.
Everything was going fine until I fitted the callipers..they go over the disc… ..just… but the disc is hard up
Against one side of the calliper.
There is a gap of about 5mm between the disc and the calliper on one side and wedged hard on the other.
I have had the hub off numerous times tried refitting the bearings, different pressures on the adjuster nut but no. Luck.
They are allmakes callipers and the only thing I can think off is using a file to remove some of the metal on the
Tight side of the calliper.
Has anybody else experienced this and is it ok to take a file to the callipers.
Many thanks
Mark
