Replacing the front calipers with new aftermarket 80mm calipers.

The caliper is in place, and secured with the two Allen head bolts.

The new pads still have a gap between them and the rotor and you can 'rattle' them.

No brake lines hooked up to the caliper yet.

Should I be able to manually slide the caliper in and out by hand, even an 1/8"? The part of the caliper that the tip of the securing bolt goes into (not the threaded end of the bolt) has some rubber in it so the bolt tip is really tight in the caliper.

Confused again in NW Ohio
