    Replaced both front rotor and pads, no problem on driver side. On the passenger side the outer brake pad is hitting the rotor causing the pins not to fit in. The old rotor/pads also will not fit anymore.... have no idea what could have happened. Iv tried putting the pads on the caliper then mounting the caliper, and mounting the caliper then pads. And the outer pad will always contact the front of the rotor. It's a 1999 4runner 4x4 with the v6. Any ideas?

    They are disk brakes, two sets of pistons per brake if that helps any

    I'm an idiot. The outside and inside pads are different...and I was trying to put two outside pads on the passenger side. Problem fixed! Now to figure out where I'm leaking so much oil from...
