Rear Brakes don't work... where to start?
I think something is missing on the rear rotor. It seems to just be held in by the caliper, and it's got a lot of slop now.
I just pulled the two bolts holding the caliper on, and the rotor comes off with it. That just doesn't seem right. Also, the rotor now has about 1/32" of room to move on the slider joints. I don't know what else to call them, but the bolts sticking out of them that allow the rotor to slide back and forth as the caliper squeezes it. I assume I'm going to have to replace that. I'm also worried about the spline that it fits onto. It's been loose long enough that I think it's worn that down some and doesn't fit as tight. hopefully it's just the rotor part, and if I replace the whole rotor, it'll be much more snug.
What is supposed to hold that rotor on though?

I messed with the brake tonight for a while and finally got it working. However, it still only does anything at the very end of the movement of the lever and the adjustment that seems like the obvious way to take out the slack is bottomed out already.
how thick are the pad supposed to be. Would that even make a difference?
I'm happy at least I got this far [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Now what.
