Following 02FXST HD Manual, I removed brake pads
prior to removing wheel to fix a flat. Fixed
flat/installed new floating break rotor. Prior to
reinstalling rear wheel, I installed new inside
brake pad and did tighten the pad pins just a bit.
Installed wheel and now,new outside break pad will
not fit. Seems the floating button on new rotor is
blocking install. When I attempt to remove new
inside break pad, the pins will not pull out
although pins are completely loosened. Both sides
of brake have pistons are fully retracted into
their bores. I have not pumped or engaged the brake
pedal.Thinking of reusing old brake pads (still
have some life) to break in new rotor but first
have to remove new inside pad. Thinking if I pump
brake pedal that might unstick the pad pins, but
I'm afraid of outside pistons coming out of their
bore. How do I unstick the brake pad pins? Why are
new brake pads not able to fit with new floating
rotor?
