    Front brake install

    Putting the front brakes and rotors on my 289.
    They are all assembled fine ... I assume.
    The brake assemblies are not happy going over the rotors. They get partway and then need help from a heavy plastic helper.
    The rotors will not turn.
    I have cleaned the rotors with acetone and all.
    Any suggestions please?

    OK,
    When you stare something too long you miss the obvious .... had the pads reversed.
    Sorry.

    It is hard to admit these things sometimes, but often you can figure them out, if not there is this forum.

    And you as well!
