gz250 front brakes
 
i am having trouble installing the brakes on my 250. There desn't seem to be enough clearance to put the caliper with the new pads back over the disk. I have depressed the cylinder as far as i can.it is flush with the caliper housing. what am i missing?

A few things. The piston is still not all the way in, try loosening the bleader and depressing it again. Not the right pads? the pads are not seated properly in the caliper.

Keep working.... they are hard to get seated.


It took me 3 times to see if I was doing something wrong, just hard to fit the first time.

Good luck.

where did you get the pads, i got some pads for a car at the auto zone once that were so thick there was no way you could fit them on the car, they had a life time warranty, you know why, if you cant ever use them thell never wear out hahahah..
