Caliper help

Ok fellas this might seem like a stupid question but here goes does anyone know if I can cut off the back holes on the caliper and still be ok to use that's the only thing rubbing bad on my 15 inch wheels thank you Jose

 

The back holes?,,please explain. HRP

 

Wonder if OP means the pin alignment guide holes?

 

There are only 7 holes in the caliper. One is for the banjo bolt. Four are for the caliper guide pins/sliders. One is for the piston. The last one is the big one at the top of the casting.

No, you cannot cut off any holes on the caliper. Calipers can carefully, lightly ground for clearance (common in the 4x4 world, my truck has 4 ground calipers), but that is it. Cutting any part of the caliper off would render it non-functional, or failure imminent.

Get a thin wheel spacer.

 

Man, I hope not! HRP

 

Yeah I meant the guide pin ones not the mounting ones

 

NoNoNoNoNo!!!!!!

 

No! HRP

 

not only what the others say , but HELL NO

 

All four guide pin/sleeve holes mount the caliper. If they were not all necessary, they would not all be there. The science of engineering is not all about tossing extra stuff that really does not need to be there, for giggles.

 

How are you mounting the caliper oh never mind.

 

Time for new wheels?

 

Maybe some wheel spacers will help clear the calipers. What is the app. and pic's help.

 

You don't need the holes, or the pins, all they do is keep the pad in place.
Cut them off, toss the pins, and toss the pads too, nobody really needs pads.


NO. leave it all there!

 

Hahaha
That's funny.

The scary part is they will sell parts to anybody.
Now, since this question was asked, I'm wondering how many things were not asked about ? Fucking scary isn't it?

 

Yup, real stupid.
