    I've just spent the whole day trying to replace rear rotors on the 1999 Series 1 VT Commodore, however they just won't fit!

    I purchased RDA standard rear commodore rotors, but they won't slide all the way onto the hub, I cannot fit the calipar bracket back on because the rotor isn't flush 100% its got about another 10mm gap.

    Any ideas? Does anyone know if the rotors between a series 1 and series 2 VT are different?

    Thanks,
    Arrow88.

    Sit the new next to the old to see if there is any height difference for a start. How far out are the banksia shoes? Are they stopping the rotor from sliding in all the way?

    you might need to adjust the park brake shoes either loosen the cable or the brake shoes there is a wheel to adjust in the hub

    Thanks for the quick replies guys. I think that park brake shoe might the problem. I had the handbrake off when i was doing the change over. Will check tomorrow.
