I guess this is an "exterior" related problem!

There was a recent post on the Yahoo Mobile Suites forum the someone that had a problem with the pad keeper bolt coming out and causing the pad to drop out then the calibpers causing damage to the disc, etc.

I checked mine on a new MS 38RL3 and found one bolt that has lost its nut and tried to back out but was stopped by the aluminum wheel, so far. Eventually the bolt would have broken and the pads would have fallen out. Luckily all I have is a slightly scored wheel.

Anyone with Dexter disc brakes should check this immediately.

If anyone has other "voices" it would be good to share this info.

Thanks!
