I just received the brake pads I ordered. I went to put them in and they got stuck, well I got them out and decided to wet sand the crap out of the caliper so the pad would fit. I got the pads to fit in, but now i can seem to get the brake assembly back into the caliper. Any tips or tricks to getting eveything to fit back in? I seems like the thing that pushes the brake pad against the rotor is sticking out to far, can I shorten it? or maybe get it to go back in more?
 
If you have the mechanical brakes you need to unscrew the brake adjuster. It is the plastic pc with notches on it. Pull it away fron the ratchet just enough to turn it.
