sounds like the new pads are different, have you checked them against the old ones that came out?

[samewan]

yup there the same ive done the other side and they fit perfect but the drivers side doesnt want to go i might just give the pin a little tap with the hammer make it bend a little ....

[Sadam_Husain]

sounds like one of the pads isnt locating properly if the holes arent lineing up?

[samewan]

made it fit now bang there hit there and shes in its a bloody tight fit tho

[Sadam_Husain]

can the pads still move freely on the pins?

[samewan]
