need help with brakes

[Glenn T]

hi, i have an orion agb27 and have changed the back brake pads.now i cant get the disk back in btween the new pads.is there some way to adjust the brakes, thanks

have they closed? if you u may need to leaver them out and then slid the wheel in

you gotta just pry them apart so the disc slides in - they will always close a bit when changing pads

ok thanks i will go try .but the problem i had befor is that the pads were rubbing and this is what cuased them to wear so much, so is there any way to adjust it?

Did you previously remove your axle (i.e. removed wheel, changed sprocket, etc..)?

If so, what I learned specific to the AGB27 model is that there is a proper sequence to the 3 metal spacers and putting them back in the wrong order of thickness will affect brake disc alignment to the pads.

Otherwise, I cant see what else other than opening up the calipers to fit in the new pads can be reason for the pads to continue to be in contact.
