ECE Drop Spindle Problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

racerx8413 · 08-13-2012, 10:03 PM

It's been a while since I've posted, but I ECE is close, and maybe someone's run into this before.

I ordered the 2.5 inch 3/4 to 1/2 ton conversion spindles a while back, along with the matching rotors, calipers and pads, bearings, etc.

I've got everything together finally, but am having an issue with the brakes. The rotor doesn't seem to be on all the way, it's about .5 inches too far out, so I can't stick the outer brake pad into the caliper. I've got that nut torqued all the down to the end of threads, still not far enough.

Anyone seen this before?
