There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

BRAKE PADS
CLOCKWISE - and it's a lot of turns to get it ALL the way in .... and it has to be ALL the in.... I got my pads from Ron and cut a deep line in the pads on an angle ..... I haven't heard any squeaks , even in reverse :clap:.... Best of luck .......... a tip, if you have someone who can hold the caliper assembly while you get the piston in ....... it's 3 X's easier ....... Mike

:agree: & here is a copy of instructions I made note of for that:thumbup:
Spyder rear caliber : instructions from BajaRon "Rear pad install
The rear caliper also serves as the parking brake the rear piston needs to be retracted as the fronts with a C-clamp.however, it is likely that it will not retract far enough to complete the install. You will see 2 holes in the top of this piston bag for inserting a tool. The rear piston must be turned CLOCKWISE to retract the parking brake system. It is best to clean the rubber piston boot before this step it may take a good deal of force to start the piston turning but should get easier once the piston begins to turn. Turn the piston until it bottoms out."

I said I cut a line in the Pads .... I did this with a 4 1/2 angle grinder using a 1mm cutting wheel/blade I got at Home Depot .... this is the thinnest blade I have ever found ...less than $3.00 .... I cut the line on an angle that would promote the exit of water ...... there is No squeaking .... Mike :thumbup:
