good bye crappy rotors! My first caliper rebuild went great. Pass. side hub is shattered. How?, I don't know. Luckily I purchased a hub, spindle, caliper/hardware from a 4g61t. Smooth sailing untill the caliper wouldn't clear the pads/rotors. The swear jar then exploded. The width of the rotors and pads combined are approximately 55mm thick. The caliper's inside width is somewere around 50mm; piston compressed. 4g61t calipers??? Obviously not. Purchased from a private party last April gives no chance of a refund. This really bites! Here's what I found through my resources,

General specs for 1.6 Front disc brake:

Rotor thickness 24mm(.94") Limit 22.4mm(.882")
Pad thickness 15.5mm(.61") Limit 2mm(.08")



:wall:

WHy dont you just buy some new calipers instead of rebuilding them?

I got them at Acme Auto, but they only have them in Connecticut. They were re-man's from A1 Cardone.

Advance Auto Parts carries that brand as well, doubt they are that cheap though.
