Lol calibers.

You probably don't have the brake pads in on the right side. Try swapping them around and see if that works.

I have a new OEM set of those pads I took them off my 07 at about 300 miles I put on dustless pads.

If anyone wants them pay shipping and they are yours.

Re: brake calibers

good morning!
please take a pic of your concern. we have no idea on your automotive knowledge and as far as i know you could have forgotten to push the piston back in.

Re: brake calibers

My vote is the piston is not compressed too. You will need to do this with a c-clamp, open the fluid reservoir when you do this as well. Haynes manual is your friend.
