99 400 ex pads wont fit
i have bought rear pads for my 1999 400 ex from the dealer they are to tight to fit over the rotor when installed. what adjustments can i make to get the new pads to fit? i have released the brake fluid, are there adjustments on the caliper? the old pads were almost to the metal, would that make a difference?

i just out new pads on my 00 400ex and all i did was take out the ald ones, wich also were bare metal, squeezed the piston bak inside the caliper with cannel locks and the new pads went on and slipped rite into place.
are you sure that they are the right pads and the piston is all the way in?

Very important to clean off the pistons with brake cleaner and tooth brush. Also before pushing pistons in be sure the reservoir brake fluid level is near the low level. Then just push the pistons in with either your fingers, or with old pads covering piston and vice grips.
If you don't clean pistons before pushing them into calipers there is very good chance that caliper seals will start leaking.

the pads are the correct ones, checked twice with 2 different dealers.
the piston is fully compressed. how thick should the rotor be?
is there any possibility there are after market calipers, that require different pads?
what was your pad #'s for the 2000 400 ex?
thanks guys
