Front brake caliper pin question
« on: September 16, 2006, 01:56:52 PM »
My pads wears uneavenly.

The pin holding the front brake caliper arm is a loose fit in the bracket, but fairly tight on the arm. This means that it rattles in the bracket.
Shouldn't it be a tight fit in the bracket & the arm rotate on the pin?

Should be tight in he bracket and loose in the arm, sounds like yours siezed in the arm and wore the housing.You realy need to replace the bracket
