Default Need help please!

I am trying to reinstall my calipers onto the bracket and it doesnt seem to want to catch. The two bolts that are inside the bracket seem to be threadless and just move in and out. So i went ahead and tried to screw the 2 screws into the belt and tight them problem is though that it the caliper still wobbles a little bit when pushed and i know that can't be right.. How do I get it to secure tight again? Or is that how its suppposed to be?


Its hard to explain but the bracket has those 2 bolts that the screws screw into and they are not catching into the bracket i guess?

You mean the guide pin bolts...? You have to hold the guide pin with an open-end wrench while you tighten the bolt.

^^^ CORRECT, there is flat points on the pin for wrench, yes the pins slid in and out, I do not remenber if there is o ring in housing

There's a rubber boot between the caliper and the end of the guide pin.

Ok well I think i got it.. I got the pin inside and the rubber boot seems to be the main thing holding against the bracket so i guess thats the right way just seems odd it wiggles if i pull on it...figured it would be more secure but what do i know.

Thanks for the help
