Re: Rear Caliper Piston Won't Retract Far Enough Posted by JerseySaab [Email] (#666) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JerseySaab) on Wed, 7 Nov 2012 07:13:26 In Reply to: Rear Caliper Piston Won't Retract Far Enough, Kirkster [Profile/Gallery] , Wed, 7 Nov 2012 06:40:34 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
This sounds like what happens on the older C900 brake system with the parking brake on the front, the caliper seizes up due to corrosion and the piston(s) will not retract all the way, making it difficult or impossible to fit the pads. Assuming that all the new parts are in spec (Brembo rotors are made in China now!) you might be experiencing something similar.
