- Thanks for your response. I think you have it correct. After much measuring, it appears both side calipers are identical, and have clearances for the thin rotors. I measured the clearances from the

- That's what I thought. But Don has a late-model BJ8, which should take the 1/2" rotors, right? Sounds like he might have calipers from an earlier car? Moss, for one, shows one part number for all 6-c

- As I dig deeper into my car, I find strange things, so need your guidance, please. It started with a click in the Lt Ft wheel area that would stop with light brake application. When I jacked up the

- Sounds like your calipers are sticking or binding somehow. New pads come with quite a bit of material--3/10 of an inch or more, maybe--but I've never had a problem pushing the pistons in and putting

- If it's only the LF wheel, you may have a hydraulic problem - remote chance it's the rubber hose to that caliper. More likely one or both caliper pistons are seized or very very stiff in the bores -

- Hi Don If you are using DOT3 when was the last time that you did a complete brake fluid change? The pistons in the caliper may have some corrosion on them fouling their ability to move freely thus "f
