Hmm, upsidedown, how do I change em?
Where are my stabilisers?

:roll: Ok, so I've purchased my Avid Juicy Ultimates and have put them on my bike but they were not set up for right-hand front braking. The manual said to change the clamps around (easy enough) and to flip the "pad engagement adjustment bolt" over. I haven't done this yet because I was having trouble and thought I'd check in here before I break it :shock:
The book said to remove the "e" clip and the "bushing" and flip! I removed the e clip and unswcewed the red bolt and thought that all I had to do was screw the red bolt back in so it's now on the top and put the e clip on the bottom. But when I went to do this, there was a rubber ring thing making the hole too small to screw the red bolt in. Is this rubbery thing what they mean by "bushing"?? It looked pretty fixed on so I didn't want to yank it off, but is that what I'm supposed to do?
:oops: I just put it back on in the upsidedown position in the end, but this looks a bit silly, so if anyone knows I'd be very grateful for the advice!
Cheers

under the E clip there should be a bushing. and on the other side a ring and a washer. there need swapping around. so the stack stays the same."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Ok great, it was the bushing under the e clip that I was having trouble getting off. So, I take this off too and keep everything in the same order and just reassemble it the correct way up right?
Thanks very much for the helphttp://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/ ... lurLT2.jpg

that is right.
On my old 7's i kept the adjusters under the lvers (the big plastic adjusters) so they did not get broken off. still had to replace one!"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

2009 AVID SPC_Rev B.pdf is the one with the exploded diagram."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
