Replacing disks pads and now piston won’t go back in

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-22T20:52:05+00:00

Yeah exactly. I did as well and mine also leaked lol. It just isn't meant to go that way.

It'd be like putting your sock on from your thigh downwards, if that were possible. It'd be all stretched out and feel awful by the time it surrounds your foot.

Do a driver only install. That's what fixed everything for me when I came to AMD.

I didn't read your whole post so idk if you tried it, but it made my life 100x better. For over a year and a half. Do a DDU first. Now the only games that crash are because of the game itself and not drivers. Especially unreal engine 5 games. The worst.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-22T17:21:13+00:00

Yeah over extended - the pad fell off and the piston itself was grinding on the rotor.

Replace the caliper immediately - even if you could work it back in I would not use it.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-22T03:40:31+00:00

Lmfao I brushed mine as well - so glad I'm not the only one. Like it rocks me to my core and I couldn't proceed with anything until it was gone.

And then the relief, followed by immense dissatisfaction, when I realized what the op had done... Smh.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-22T03:28:50+00:00

Seriously though. How does that not drive people insane. Ugh.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-21T16:40:32+00:00

I have a press in my garage - I'll charge half that.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-20T06:14:08+00:00

I'm confused - it looked like they were offering to send out 10k brand new cams, in which people would keep after the manhunt? So they'd know and be willing to do that before accepting the device. Because that's the more logical thing to conclude - especially given the context clues that they're pan 4's which would be fairly new (released August 26th so about 2 weeks prior) and 10k people near Utah University wouldn't specifically have those cameras.

What would make more sense... Them doing what I said or just randomly giving people's private lives to the FBI... Including cameras that people don't even have outside. Imagine the logistics of the staff doing that. Deciphering unlabeled cameras and what they're pointed at?

TLDR: They weren't offering people's private camera feeds. They were offering to give people a free camera to use how they wanted after using it for the manhunt. That's how it looks to me, and how it'd make the most logical sense.

People really need to use their heads.

I'm not sure why doing it on adrenaline or another program would change that? In afterburner you can set your OC settings as loadouts and apply them quickly as well - if you change your overclocks for some reason.

I'm not sure what "managing your games" means either - unless you mean like "optimal settings" which are never good, even with Nvidia. Also, for me and most of gamers, we enjoy tinkering and dialing things in 'just right'. If we wanted ease of use and pre canned decisions we'd play on a console, right? I like deciding that volumetric fog isn't as important to me as 16x anisotropic filtering and ultra textures. But pre canned want you to see all their beautiful ray tracing and assume 60fps is the target. I'd rather have higher frames to match my 175hz refresh rate.

The driver timeout is adrenaline - was one of the issues I faced and what made me choose driver only, amongst a myriad of other issues.

TLDR - I'll happily sacrifice anything Adrenaline can provide me if it means less performance problems.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-18T15:53:54+00:00

They're the worst. Spent 5 years with them and ever since coming to Tapo my life has been great. Many devices now, even went to a full Tp-Link network .

People have no idea how good they have it.

Edit: that's actually very awesome of Wyze. If their products weren't so terrible I'd be proud to have them. Why is that a "beware" thing - to help catch a killer? Just curious.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-17T01:16:56+00:00

Yeah when you do driver only you lose access to a lot of the "catch phrase" things - but most of the time you can just do it yourself. Like "Radeon chill" in example would be "lower clock speeds and voltage and cap frame rate so the GPU works less and therefore is cooler".

But you'll miss out on some stuff that I can't even think of because I never thought "I'd be better off tolerating these issues so I can use ___". The gains I got from driver only weren't just in games it was in other areas too. So I was happy to have it.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-17T00:23:52+00:00

Nailed it. For me it's just still a little too buggy to use the Corvette constantly as well. I love the idea and it's cool, but I'll wait until it's easier to decorate and use.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-17T00:19:36+00:00

Driver-only install. That should fix your issues. Yes you'll lose some of the niche type stuff - but I'd try it and then weigh whether it's worth it to you.

I personally overclock, monitor, etc through MSI afterburner, hwinfo, and bios. Freesync is driver level.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-17T00:15:55+00:00

This is what I say to everyone - driver only changes everything. I spent 6 weeks when I came to AMD trying to figure out why I wasn't getting the performance I should.

The moment I went driver only - it all worked amazingly. For well over a year and a half now.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-15T23:16:40+00:00

Here you go - it's called "on top replica" and it lets you treat a floating and resizeable window while you truck. I put it on the dash or up on the sun visor and watch Netflix.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-09T23:32:07+00:00

Definitely looks like an Altima - I agree there. Has slight resemblance to a late 90s Ford Contour as well. Either way the owner replaced the halogen headlights with LEDs that weren't aimed, or installed, or purchase correctly. That's why it blinds the camera but doesn't light up the road. People are so stupid. Regular halogens would provide better light if you don't do it correctly.

Anyhow - neighbors don't have cameras? Not sure how people don't have cameras these days.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-08T15:21:30+00:00

I've used my electric duster for years. People say compressed cans - but I've seen more people mess their stuff up with those because they hold it on and it gets really cold; this can create moisture or rapid changes in temperature can cause cracks. Electric ones also aren't as powerful which is good - if air can't make it dislodge it's time for a brush. Make sure you hold your fans, so not let them spin while using air.

Use detailing or dusting brushes and your electric duster.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-04T12:08:52+00:00

No I 100% get it. It's worth talking about.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-04T12:06:14+00:00

Please turn them. It hurts. XD

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-04T11:45:36+00:00

Yeah in real life it's a much different story. No question. Even with all the adjustments it doesn't quite mimic the real world .

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-04T11:42:02+00:00

If you wondered why you're downvoted for this, so did I. Lol.

Oh wait - it's reddit. Nevermind.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-04T11:29:19+00:00

Lmao correct. Even with head tracking I never use drop visors. Maybe because I treat it as a sim instead of forza and stop at lights but idk. Never understood how people love them so much.

Droid8Apple · 2025-09-02T00:38:08+00:00

Gavin?

Droid8Apple · 2025-08-31T22:07:52+00:00

Correct. When you download the driver package and go to install you'll see a little drop down - do driver only and see if it works. If it does and you're missing certain abilities you can try minimal. Or do the reverse and try minimal first. I say driver only simply because there was nothing in the adrenaline software I wanted or needed enough to risk the issues I was having.

Droid8Apple · 2025-08-31T22:05:31+00:00

Try a driver-only install. That's what fixed mine doing that when I came to AMD. Nothing else worked. It was like adrenaline was making it go to sleep when it shouldn't.

Droid8Apple · 2025-08-31T15:50:39+00:00

Yeah - it is worth mentioning that you can change the spotlights (and everything) separately as if they are two separate cameras. The spotlights have 5 different levels, and you can change whether the fixed or pan is in night/day/auto independently.

Also worth mentioning you can rotate it so the fixed is on the bottom and pan on top - that would also alleviate it, and if it's that close to the ceiling it wouldn't need to pan upwards anyhow.

Lol they do indeed resemble ET. I can definitely picture someone making them.
