It does fit very well if you just take the upper section that is being pushed outward and distorted and gently massage it back into place with a dead blow. Or, you can bolt the rotor on and reach in with a flat blat screwdriver or prybar and push on the bits that will bring the outer flange into parallel with the rotor face.
Not on brake kits since the saddle for the caliper is centered on the rotor by the use of the dust shield. It isn't my place to have you toss them so the spacing is built around using them.
44, 30 makes no difference since they are both identical from the tubes outward with the single exception of a slightly thicker bump stop pad.
It is a piece of .035 thick sheet metal. Don't let it kick your ass. Bolt the rotor on, reach in with a prybar and tweak it away from the rotor. Literally takes about 30-45 seconds per side. You can pry against the rotor, I promise it won't hurt it.
Thank you SIR! That pic helped me orientate correctly. Both done correctly now and all 6 bolts loctited in. No bending needed either. Awsome!
They are actually marked left and right with an R and an L.
What happens when you don't install the dust shield or an equivalent shim with your BBk? My 16"BBK hasn't had either for 2 years now. The dust shields apparently were tossed by 4WP when they originally installed my BBK 2 years ago and fucked up other shit like my Rubi lockers.
Apparently nothing if you've had them for 2 years. You let 4WP work on your Jeep? Chris might ban you for that huge mistake.
Nothing, something, depends on tolerance stacking and how that plays out. We work to perfectly center the saddle on the rotor. That way when my machinist misses by a couple thou, the caliper saddle is a couple thou off, and someone tosses the dust shield, the rotor still doesn't drag on the saddle or abutment clips.
You are forgiven, you are a shop, shops never read the directions because they think they know what they are doing. Rig owners always read the directions so they don't have hardly any issues with the installs.
Snitches get stitches.Apparently nothing if you've had them for 2 years. You let 4WP work on your Jeep? Chris might ban you for that huge mistake.
Good information to know. I have them on mine, but I’ve seen a lot of people toss them over the years. Ignorance is bliss I suppose…
Just don't say his name a third time lol.I'll never tell.
You can toss them on the stock knuckles since there is no caliper saddle that has to center on the rotor.
