I've just come to refit the rear caliper after stripping the swingarm to polish it up, and found that it won't fit properly.

I spent most of the afternoon trying to work out whats wrong -

If I look at it, it ssems that the caliper has grown in size!! The bleed nipple the front of it is right next to a nut for the brace part of the mount.
And on te top of the caliper is a little lump which hits the bottom of the swingarm.
It all seems to be too high up.
I've had the hub and axle apart and put back together - I believe correctly

Can the caliper mount be fitted in correctly? thats where I think the problem lies.

Any help or suggestions welcome!!

adjust your hub so it rotates round to give more space

tried that one - still doesn't quite fit

I think I might have been a complete muppet and fitted something wrong - gonna have a look at it again tomorrow - possibly try taking all the hub apart again

I tried it again today and I was a complete muppet

Thanks for the advice royster!! I had the hub cam right at the top of its travel - no wonder it wouldn't fit!!!

Its nowfitted all nice and tight
