original problem seems to be fixed...... BUT

now my rear is locked up, meaning when i put it in gear it wont move. wtf is going on???

First bleed your brakes then start the car up. To try and seat the pads.

If the piston is still sticking out enough to compress against the rotor then of course the hub won't spin.

this is fuckin ridiculous. i might have to burn this car

drift_ricer · 04-18-2007, 03:09 PM

did u put the hub bearing into the rear axle fit right. and e brake lock or or not?

Bigballin · 04-18-2007, 03:15 PM

im using the J30 assembly which the Hub is pressed in and i dont have ebrake...

it feels like the ebrake is up though

Bigballin · 04-19-2007, 01:38 AM

anyone might know it feels like the ebrake is up when its not even connected??

emersonLP · 04-19-2007, 09:45 AM

So you do have the ebrake assembly installed? just no cables? Maybe you need to adjust the ebrake drum. There is a little hole to adjust the ebrake through the rotor iirc.

Bigballin · 04-19-2007, 11:07 AM

i dont have the ebrake assembly installed just the calipers and rotor

emersonLP · 04-19-2007, 12:14 PM

Is the caliper squeezing the rotor or is there something else inhibiting the wheel from spinning?

Bigballin · 04-19-2007, 12:36 PM

i took off the calipers and rotors and the axle still would not spin when i put it in gear. so i took off the axle nut on both sides and everything worked correctly. so now im wondering if it is possible to have to axle nut "too" tight??? something just doesnt seem right

chmercer · 04-19-2007, 12:48 PM

haha no you cant have the axle nut too tight. iirc the torque for it is somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 pounds.

maybe you have shitty wheel bearings or something? i dunno

Bigballin · 04-19-2007, 01:16 PM

any way to confirm that my bearings are fucked up i just got the j30 assembly

i really dont want to sell this bitch...

drift_ricer · 04-19-2007, 07:52 PM

hey bigballin, at first I got the j30 same like u two week, but I just change my though last week, decided to install the z32. I just got done one side today. it look nice. sell the j30 and go with z32

Bigballin · 04-19-2007, 08:12 PM
