Think you've got it  they will all be checking theirs now the guide on how to fit the shims is in the Girling manuals also applies to Lockheed.

Cheers NTC, 

 

I'll see if I can find that out and read.

Hi Neil,

thanks for your response about the shims. I still struggle to understand why not-centralizing the caliper to the disc can result in uneven pad wear as experienced by White Wolf.

If someone has a copy of the Girling installation manual (the relevant section) I would be interested in a copy.

Best regards,

Waldi

Because one pad will contact before the other also the closer one may drag and it may give more pedal travel plus worst case scenario could break a disc if they are well out. I have seen the caliper mounting brackets bent as well.

Thanks Stuart and Neil,

I thought that the pistons would move to the disk on the first push on the pedal and then take their final position, one piston being 1 or 2 mm more out than the other, not being an issue. During wear of the pads they will also move further out towards the disk. Apoarently it is more complicated.

I will follow Neil’s and your advise and remove the wheels, check the space on both sides of the disk and shim if required.

Thank you both,

Waldi
