"This might be a little bit tricky since it's always easier to take them out then to out them on. And this is where you might come into the problem we were talking about before with having to spread this apart, so just make sure these are nice and spread and you're going to get in here, make sure it's right around the rotor, and it'll slide right on, line your bolts up, get them in there, give them a couple of turns to make sure caliper's on, just like that. Tighten the bolts for the caliper and now this one's tight. There you go, now this side's done, you can go ahead and spin the wheel. You can actually hear the brake and the rotor, everything should sound fine. If you hear any really weird sounds or anything your going to have to take it off and check to see whats in there but this ones working just fine. And we'll just go on to the other side and put the other one back on."
