23246, crazy brake pad shim question
Posted by 97_420a, Mar-25-04 06:21 PM
i was driving around today, and i pulled out of a parking spot and my right front rotor made a horrid should, similar to the wear tab of the pad rubbing the rotor. and then i stopped, then went again and the noise was gone, no biggie. driving later this afternoon and it does the same thing but doesnt stop. so i take the rf wheel off and the shim that goes between the pad and caliper has slid down and rubbing the hat portion of the rotor.
now i need to know how to fix it. can i just tighten down the 2 bolts on the caliper or do i need to do a brake job tommarrow? if its a brake job i am going to be severly pissed. i would like to spend tommarrow tearing down my spare motor, cleaning the motor & tranny, and disassembling the head; not doing a brake job.
