    m-cers, if i understand you, the outside pad should fit tight?? that must be where i am making my mistake, i left it loose thinking it needed to self center. thanks for the "tip from the pro."
    the thought didn't ocurr to me that i might need "professional" help.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ...frank...:bananaman :bananaman

    Yes, the outside pad needs to be tight. If not, it moves around & clicks......You can also tap the two upper tabs with a hammer, put on the caliper with channel locks (squeezing it). I find that to be the best way (then you know it's tight). Hope this helps.:clap:
