Brakes problem
1998 Ford Fiesta Two Wheel Drive Manual

Hi there, I've just changed the brakes on my Ford Fiesta. It's a job I've done before, but not on this car (and not unsupervised). Having changed the pads, everything seems OK, however the calliper bolts do not screw as far back in as they were before (they feel firm, and have caught the thread, but won't screw as deep).

I am planning to take the whole thing apart and re-assemble, however I was wondering if there is anything I should know/do different/look out for? (or is this a normal thing?)

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Dan
