It's possible to do even without any shims, by only welding on new metal. The work is simpler that way, but I don't know which is better. >Get a specialist to do it, Finding one outside Sweden may be a problem. > because there's the risk of getting the >tolerances too fine so that the yoke freezes in place, which will cause >the outer pad to drag on the disk. You'll need to check the play several times and work on it until the yoke slides well. According to a service manual, a safe value for the play is 0.1 mm both sides combined, or less (no minimum given). In any case, check afterwards if the brakes drag. -- Johannes Hyvärinen johannes.hyvarinennopsamfi Espoo, Finland
