Anyone know the torque for the head bolts on a warrior? I also have a rear brake problem. I was going to change the rear brake pads. I got the old ones off and put the new pads in the caliper. but when i try to slide the caliper over the rotar there isnt enough room between the caliper mounting bracket and the outside brake pad. I know that the piston is all the way in and the parking brake has been removed.

 

Wrong pads?

 

I asked the same question about the head tensions and was told 29 lb on the four head bolts and 14 lb on the two hex head bolts.

 

i just changed my rear brake pads last night, no problems at all. as long as the piston is in and the pads are seated correctly they should fit. maybe they are the wrong pads like 2Owanage said. make sure they are seated at the back of the pad where the bolts go through them. use a flathead screwdriver and use leverage to get them to sit properly, this set i just got were a tight fit.

 

Ive had the same problem with new pads before. One time I used an old one and a new one for a day to wear the new one down enough for the other new one to fit. Then another time I kept playing with it until I got them on. I think I was trying to slide them over a section of my disk that was bent a little.
