Jan 15, 2002 1:49 PM | | Get everything mounted loose, but almost tight...squeeze the lever as hard as you can, which, when both pistons push, will center the caliper. Tighten the 2 mount bolts while you're still squeezing the lever. Don't forget the torque wrench! |

Jan 15, 2002 2:52 PM | | Mount bolts that bolt to the front shock,eh? :-) Not the bolts holding the two calipers halves together? Sorry, I'm not very mechanically enclined.

Jan 16, 2002 8:38 AM | | ......you need to center the rotor in the caliper. Do as the other guy said, leave the caliper mount bolts loose (the ones that hold the dang thing to yer bike), squeeze the lever, tighten the mounting bolts (the same ones you left loose) while squeezing the lever. Hold the lever solid, don't pump it......just thought I'd throw that in, so you didn't squeeze it like yer girlfriends.......er.........you know.
