Rear Brake time on the CRD

jinstall · **Posted:** Mon Aug 25, 2008 3:24 am

OK now I am pissed. I have tried everything to get the ATE rotors on, they are just plain too small. They are about 3 mm too small to fit over the parking brake shoes with everything compressed. if I pull the adjuster out they fit just fine, who needs a hand brake anyways right? Does anyone have a set of new rotors laying around? I need the messurement of the inside of the had where the hand brake lining go. The ATE I have are at 178.2mm and none of the web sites give the inside hat demetions. I have tried everyone I know of, Brembo, Ferodo, Beck Arnley, Bosch, Raybestos, Bendix, EBC etc and no one has it. My old ones are at 183mm but are worn. AUGH!!!!! Thanks.

I have a set of Raybestos on order to be delivered this week.
When they get here I will get you the measurements (if it isn't too late for you).

OK thanks. I ordered a single rotor form the dealer today, $150. So I will have one as well for tomorrow. No I just need to find my micrometer and I am set.

Rotor is in and I will get it in the morning. I will hate to leave this dealer, they are so good to me.

Mine havent shown up at the parts house yet.
Sounds like you wont need me, though.
Good luck getting it finished up.

I got it this morning, hey guess what I WAS RIGHT. Why is it after working 25 years in the business, people still doubt me. I took the Jeep rotor to them and messured it. ATE 179.2mm Jeep(Bosch) 183.4mm I mean I am not stupid. So now I have spent $350 on rear brakes and they are still in the boxes. Oh I am soooooo pissed now.
