At wits end -79 930 caliper buried into rotor after bearings replaced
 

I am turning to my fellow pelicans in hopes that I am missing something ...

I just finished replacing all my suspension parts with elephant racing stuff, and while at it decided to have the bearings done. The front bearings were replaced with timken bearings. The rotor/hub seats properly, yet when caliper bolts are tightened down, the inner brake pad is buried into caliper and wheel is locked up.

I don't recall the caliper being shimmed out with washers....

Calipers and rotors and hubs are Original.
Brake lines are off and pads/ pistons are fully retracted

Car is 79 930.....

Any thoughts observations will be much appreciated.

Find the spacer washers. Thick washers on the floor somewhere.

Thank you. They don't appear on the schematic.....I'll give that a whirl.

Rears are fine though....

I thought I remembered that the fronts have some thick washers.

Nothing like the voice of experience. We are lucky to have JW around. Whatever will happen to this place when he retires?

Dont forget spacer goes between caliper and strut

Thanks everybody for jumped my in. Considering I had the entire car apart and recently every suspension part, it's not suprising that I forgot all about those.

Thought you might enjoy a few pics...
