A4 Caliper (pads)

#1 PostAuthor: Garry.L » Fri Jun 24, 2011 2:47 pm

How slack (or tight) should the pad be that sits in the floating plate on my A4 caliper?. The original pad was almost stuck solid and the new one is a VERY tight fit..... is this right?.

TIA.

Hi on my A4 calipers you can push the pad out with thumb pressure! Cheers Paul J

Cheers Paul....

I thought the pad should be tight-ish but still be able to slide in the plate without to much force.

Thanks again.
