If you could get a pillow bearing block of some sorts, it would be easier to mount the bearing to caliper.Zxcvbnm123 wrote:My caliper is too small to hold the ball bearing.
Not sure how that is possible. If you have your bearings at four corners, with three corners fixed, and the last one is able to shift forward and backward, it should create an angle. If you PM me some pictures, I can better diagnose the problem and help you.Zxcvbnm123 wrote:How do you mount it in a way that produces an angle? When I tried to mount the caliper, the whole entire axle moves straight back and forth perpendicular to the main body.
You have two bearings holding your axle. One needs to be fixed to the main body, the other needs to be adjustable. The axle should pivot about the fixed bearing.Zxcvbnm123 wrote:How do you mount it in a way that produces an angle?

It’s literally geometry. The caliper can’t stay perpendicular to the system because the angle changes. You can either accept that or work around it with a more complicated methodMadCow2357 wrote:Not sure how that is possible.

But because of the way my vehicle was designed, both bearings need to move in order for the axis to move. If one bearing can't move, the other bearing on the axle can't move either.knightmoves wrote:You have two bearings holding your axle.

Don't entirely understand how that's possible. Can you send me a picture?Zxcvbnm123 wrote: But because of the way my vehicle was designed, both bearings need to move in order for the axis to move. If one bearing can't move, the other bearing on the axle can't move either.
