Title: help with brake caliper installation- pics
Post by sbaugz on 03/13/11 at 14:47:58

My clymer manual isn't very clear. Wondering if someone can clarify.
I did my RYCA front end work and re-installed the caliper. There are two bolts that attach the caliper to the fork. There is also a lock washer and a regular washer for each bolt. I cannot recall if the regular and lock washers both go together on the bolt, and then you thread the caliper on? Or, does one washer go on each side of the caliper before you thread the bolt on?

You can see by the picture below that both washers are sandwiched together on the same side of the caliper and I wasn't sure this is correct.
Thanks.

Some earlier models have flange head bolts that don't need the washer and lock washer.

thanks for the help. I thought I was correct but wasn't sure.
