wow, ground a little much off, lol. were you fitting as you were grinding or did you say fu*k it and went to town. I don't know if that is going to hurt you or not, i would think it would being it is lubricated w/ grease.

That's interesting.... I never saw that before. Does grinding down the caliper and bracket sacrifice any of the structural integrity?
That's not a hole in the end of the caliper bracket is it? That would be awkward if you were forcing out the grease from a hole in the back.

Yeah that doesn't seem like such a good idea
There's a hole on the other side of the bracket. That's where the caliper pins slide and are lubed. That looks like an accident waiting to happen.
