I bought ceramic brakes pads for my 94 Sierra and now I'm thinking they're too thick? I removed the old pads, compressed the piston, put the new pads on the caliper and now the sleeves on the back of the caliper hit the bracket on the back of the spindle rather sliding past it for the brake caliper bolts to go in. Should that sleeve on the caliper float or is it meant to be stationary? All 4 (2 on driver and 2 on passenger) are like this. If the sleeve that the bolt goes through should slide back and forth, how can I get them to retract into the caliper housing? I've used a c clamp and even tried to drive them back with a hammer and punch but they won't budge.
This truck seen years of neglect before I got it so every thing I touch on it has these types of issues. Anyone else dealing with trucks that fight them every step of the way?
