Hi all!
I am curently installing a ST40 BBK I bought new not long ago..
I was working on the rear left rotor and was fixing the caliper to it's bracket when something
went wrong.. ( .
As specified on the provided manual, I tryied to tighten the bolts at 45 ft-lbs ( I even put less, 43 ).
Unfortunatly, both of the rod's thread were damaged and I never felt like it was tightened.., It kept turning and turning without resistance..
As that bracket was definitly unusable, I tried with the other one, since they are identical for each side..
This time I started with a low 35 ft/lbs to be sure It would not fail but guess what!! I didn't take it off but I'm
quite sure it's damaged again because it keeps turning witout much resistance once more...
I really don't understand what went wrong and it makes me so angry now..
I'd like to know if any of you had this kind of issue or if I'm the only one?!? :/
