GTA Caliper

[clee]

Rear caliper The carrier is not correct as you can see .
There is no way the std pads will fit .With one pad in on the piston side the gap remaining for the other is 11mm ......the pad is 18mm thick .
The old pads that came out are Lucas GDB313 which is the correct pad but
are normal thickness when new .I reckon they must have been shaved down to make them fit
What's the score with removing the pentagonal bolt ? What torque does it need ?Where can I get a socket for it ?
