Re: brake caliper slide pin alignment trouble

I have an eye of a remanufacturer caliper that is out of round as if someone dropped it. I haven't installed it yet, but I'll have to do something about it. Just saying that the remanufactured calipers aren't perfect.

With your caliper removed, I would try to put a straight edge on the caliper bracket at the holes and compare it to the rotor for parallel. It's the threads in the caliper bracket that determine if the bolt is going across perpendicular to the rotor. You may have to remove it, apply some heat and pressure to bend it straight again. ..or perhaps someone cross threaded it in the past?
