hammer Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Oh, ok, I think I got where you're coming from now. You are trying to line up the two pieces together, hence the axel... I would suggest that you don't worry about lining up the bracket. If the caliper is tapped properly, it will (should) guide itself home. Do you have a proper tap set? Cheers!

Supporting Member jthayer09 Posted July 14, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted July 14, 2020 Yeah, I tapped it with an M12x1.25 and handle. After tapping I could thread the bolt by hand through the caliper whilst off of the bracket with no problem. Just struggled lining it up, sounds lame I know. But every time I swore I had it lined up I'd start threading and it'd catch again. Maybe my eye is just bad working at that angle, working with bike on the center stand and me on the ground. Would probably be easier having a the bike on a lift. Either way everything is back together and functioning as it should, tightened everything to spec and did a quick ride earlier and nothing was loose. Glad this thread was here, totally saved my ass! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
