Re: 85 c10 new brake pads won't fit

Welcome to the forum plaidpotato.

You cant mix and match the 1" and the 1.25" HD brakes, bearing, etc. If the pad is too thick, have you tried compressing the cup in the caliper? If not, use a large C-Clamp and slowly compress the cup back inside the caliper. Be aware that this might cause your fluid reservoir to overflow if its too full.

Regarding the cross shaft, it sound like you need to swap it with another one. There is no adjustment on those bolts to accommodate misaligned index holes.
