Can't figure this out so hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. 2011 Ranger 4WD Extra Cab.
I just installed new brakes, coated rotors. After a few break in stops the pads are only bearing on the outer 3/4 inch or so of the rotors. It seems there's only one way for these to go together - caliper frame into the 2 mounting holes, slides into the two corresponding holes. Pads in the slots. The pads are wearing on only the section highlighted by the yellow arrows. That's like 2/3 of the rotor not being functional.
The caliper seems in the right position, but there is some room between the caliper and the rotor hub. Is this the normal position? If so, it's a pad problem.
I did use the last set of front pads I had laying around from my '02 Ranger, and I lined them up with new ones for the '11 and they were identical. Something I missed? I'm stumped. Anyone know what's wrong so I have some direction when I take them apart and try to get it right?
