Brake pad installation help

-
Just looking through the post times on my thread that I created about the brake pads. 3, 4 and 12 minutes later I had all the help I needed from three knowledgeable individuals! How cool is that!
-
Yeah but it’s new to me! 🤪
I now have the pads on and installed. The little cube will not fit the Slingshot. Sent the wife back to AutoZone rented this and this one’s the ticket !
Again thanks to all !
I just ordered the kit off of Amazon for $22 Also when I first tied to install the Hawk 5.0's on my Sling I could not get them to compress that last little bit for some reason. I have some large files so I just took a little bit off of the brake pad (just enough to get it to slide over the rotor. Just remember I have been doing this stuff FOR A LONG TIME

Did you remove the steal backing plates on the pads? That may hav been the ticket. My caliper retracted almost flush so it was an easy installation. Having the correct tool does help! 22$is a great price.
