REFLECTOR: Changing out total brakes

[Rene Dugas]

Be certain when reassembling that the calipers truly float.  It is easy to not have enough relief around the caliper follower bolts to allow full travel restricting use especially 6 months from now.  They can jamb and limit pressure followed by fracture of the pads with gouging of the disc requiring replacement of many part.  An angel told me this in my sleep.

Sent from Rene's iPad. A pleasure.  Go Apple.
