  • Aspire swap pad replacement

    I guess I need help with everything guys! Replacing the pads on hulkstiva and I can't seem to get everything back together. I'm pretty sure I have manual Aspire rotors and heard there was a difference between manual and auto and that would dictate which pads to use. I mentioned it when asking for the pads but the guy said there was no difference in his system. I've got the pads on and now I can't get the bolts back into the caliper to put it all back together. Any ideas?

    Got it figured out. (Thanks Greg!) I was worried it had something to do with the difference in auto/manual aspire rotors/pads. I just needed to compress the piston. Anybody know the deal with aspire auto and manual rotors and if there is a difference in pads you're supposed to get?

      I assume you you mean the slide bolts.
      I don't know about the Aspire, but the Festiva's slide bolts are different lengths.
      They are NOT interchangeable from top of the caliper to the bottom.

          Me too! I guess there isn't a difference in what pads you get if you have a manual or auto aspire swap

            I think the difference is in the caliper and the disk they are thicker.

              Automatic Aspire rotors are thicker than manual Aspire rotors.

                This is what I was talking about. I thought there was a difference in which pads you were supposed to get too, but they're all the same
