    DAMN! Wtf happened? Looks like the brake pads wore down to grinding, and ground down the rotor until it finally cut through! ouch. Either that or stress broke it at the holding hub plate?

    Or, something wasn't tightened down properly. Still, pretty impressive!

    Not following you... It shouldn't matter which way the pins are installed since the pads should slide on the pins. Did they not slide the pin through one of the holes, or not sand the pins so the brakes got bound up? :confused:

    Pads are arched to match the rotor being round. If installed incorrectly, the arch will be outward instead of inward.

    I know that, I guess I'm trying to figure out how you could manage to install them incorrectly unless they were jammed in upside down. :confused:

    I just can't wrap my head around how they were installed to cause that kind of carnage. Maybe it's just a lack of mental image...
