Re: Calipers will not fit on drop spindles...

The rotors do not come in contact with the caliper, it's the outside pad pressure. The caliper(d52) is fully compressed and the inside pad is not touching the rotors. The outside pad is keeping the the rotor from turning without a tremendous amount of force. It looks to me like the spindle shaft (where the inside bearing rides) is not machined enough and causing the caliper to be off center. I have been to autozone to compare all the 1.25 calipers, pads and bearings are the same measurements as mine. I think I'm going to removed the bosses where the caliper slide pins mount to move the caliper closer to the outside of the spindle.
