My rear brakes are squealing and I'm due for my annual inspection by the end of the month. Wait, that's in 2 days...
So I bought the Textar rear brake set off Fastlane. Came home from work today with about an hour and a half of daylight to pop them in. No problem, right? Wrong.
After shaking, pulling, and yanking on the old ones to get them out, I got the outside one in. The inside one is another story. That thing will NOT go in. No way, no how. It looks like it's too thick to get past where the hose or whatever it is comes in the inside of the caliper.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to unscrew the caliper a little to get it in? Has anyone used these Textar pads? Are they no good for an '83 300SD? Am I going to pass inspection? Well, if I don't pass it won't be because of the pads. It took me a little bit just to find somewhere to jack the car up without worry of the jack busting through the rust.
