I have a question on fitting a set of Matco brakes.. ?Once they are installed Matco wants you to measure the distance between the brake plate adapter and the caliper housing? ?Max 0.125 and min .05 inches using new pads. Then they tell you to "adjust the length by moving the brake plate inboard or outboard as needed".. ?NO mention of what to use/where for spacing? ?There are 4 screws holding the brake plate to the axle. ?I don't know whether to put "washers" on the 4 screws or whether it needs a full size plate between the brake plate and the axle plate? ?Plus, the screws are really small and SHORT.. When installing the wheel on the axle, there is a spacer installed on the axle first, then the wheel slides on the axle.. ?Once this is done, you can screw the brake disc onto the wheel hub. ?The problem I'm having is I can't tell whether the wheel bearing is bottoming out on the spacer or the non-movable ?brake pad is hitting the front face of the brake disc?? ?There is no way to see inside to tell which is making contact first?? ?Their instructions don't make sense, at least to me?? I'm going to try and attach a couple of pictures of the brake unit off the axle. ?The disc with the screws poking out is the mounting plate they want me to "space" in or out to get the .125 or .05.. ?The second pic is the side view showing the space they want you to measure.. ?Right now that space is almost .250" from the brake housing to the spacer.. I hope the pics make sense!! Thanks, Ron
