front brakes - 1/23/2007 12:40:27 PM    fordtractorman   Posts: 6 Joined: 7/13/2006 Status: offline I'm trying to put front brake pads on my '95 and have hit a wall. I've got the new pads on the caliper (rt. front) but can't get the thing to line back up in the cradle so the bolts will go in. Is there a tip or something I've overlooked? Anyone with experience, please reply. My truck is much easier! FTM Post #: 1
