did you push the piston, in the calliper, where it is all the way open.

thats what i was thinking...too but i think he's saying the rotor won't slide in far enough for the caliper to clear the rim...but i could be wrong

well this has turned into a nightmare for a first timer.

It turns out the people who had the car before me(ass hats) left the old inner ring from the bering on the spindle and put a whole new inner bering on with NO outer bering so that when I tried to put mine on it would not put the rotor close enough for be to bolt up my brake. Bottom line is I only had a cotter pin holding my wheel on, and now I have to check the other side to see if they pulled the same shit.

Take a cut-off wheel, just cut the old race ALMOST through on both sides, and split it with a chisel. Try not to nick the spindle. What a bunch of ham n' eggers that performed that last operation!

I was able to get it off. Now im just waiting for a ride to the auto store. I kinda want to see how they did the other side but it will have to wait untill I have some more money.

mabey all the extra pressure on the outer break pad is what was making my car slow lol
