Some may remember my complaint that my rear pads were wearing unevenly, a problem I tracked to the rear caliper being off center. I ordered new pads from MG Cycle and did nothing for a while as I couldn't figure out how to move the caliper closer to the wheel relative to the disk.
I was visiting the Erik Green the other day and described my problem. He gave me a pair of Brembo shims and explained (as if to a retarded child) how I should put them between the caliper and the carrier on the two securing bolts.
Easy Peasy right? It took a little doing because you have to loosen the rear axle, remove a pin and small block and rotate the carrier to get at the caliper securing bolts. Then, once the shims are in place and the new brake pads are in, you have to secure the carrier to torque the bolts. Then, ah, assembly is the reverse of disassembly.
I am happy now, because I have fresh pads in and my caliper is centered.
