Caliper wont open up

[crosbike]

agreed. this hurts my brain to think about without seeing it.

alex take pics of the WJ setup so we have a reference

[XJLI]

we should go to the parts store and look at WJ rotors side by side to the sport trac ones everyone likes to use. maybe those will solve the issue.

hopefully theyre not all at KOH and naxja will bring the win

I may have figured something out. The 4x4 wire used a hub from a 2000/2001 tj. They have several different rotors for whatever reason jeep does stupid things like that. Probably an ABS thing. I remember this cuz Adam Gabel and I needed to measure his rotors since they had a few options of over all height. I think you need hubs from one of those to push the rotor out further.

damnit, i was told an 01 XJ hub was the same deal and i just bought em and installed em...i better not need to buy 2 brand new hubs a week after i bought these

as far as i could tel lthe rotor needed to move in, i could be wrong

97 XJ wheel bearing Flange Offset=2.133"

2001 XJ wheel bearing Flange Offset=1.905"

im beginning to wonder if these are even fuckin 01 wheel bearings...everthing fits exactly the same as my old 97 bearings with these installed

measure em. did you get em from that ghey auto zone that gave me the wrong side caliper after double checking?

[HeavyMetal]

kyle got them from a hookup he had at the dealer and sent em to me

[crosbike]

check the part number perhaps? That is about a 1/4" different which would probably push the rotor out far enough for the bracket to sit flush.

[HeavyMetal]

1/4" is the spacing issue i have.

these have to be the wrong year hubs.

[crosbike]

shweet. I win. sumthing fun to do on saturday

[HeavyMetal]

we'll buy an 01 hub, test it, if it works, get another, if not, return it.

gonna be ass raping cost gettin em locally
