And I think we talked about this a while back.
Brake pads not fitting tight to the caliper (GM slider)

Had to get a little creative to bend the ends of the long lower tab up. But a few trials and errors got it snug.
Then realized the silencer? plate was as you see it. Seems they used something like RTV to attach it. I had a little super high temp orange RTV, We'll see if it works.

Seemed to brake better and I didn't hear the clanging on brake release... so hopefully that was that issue.

I always tapped the small tabs down with a punch. My tool truck had the similar system only 5 and 10 bolt hubs and bigger brakes.

That would have been easier, and I think is what I did during the initial install.
But the pad was shifting to the the outer edge of the disk so I wanted to get it closer to the hub.

Where's Karl!?
That's what she said!

Should have been empty, rarely is there anyone on base but security and maybe janitors on Sunday’s. Especially at the hour but we’ll see.

So far no reported injuries in any of the tornadoes today

Had a nasty storm roll through last evening. Blinked the power at work. Just enough to drop out a few things including the newest big *** main breaker that has phase protection on it. So I had to get my arc flash gear on and reset it.

it's better they said, yeh for who?
