Elaborate. Cause i'm pretty sure he'll have to mount the caliper to see where it fits and then put the wheel on the car to check for clearance. What is he gonna "place on the brakes"? The wheel? If so , whats he gonna do just set it all on the floor lmao? From what i understand the brakes are not on the car yet.

The mono block is one piece of brake, simply place it on the caliper and tape it or something. OR put the car on a jack and hold the mono block piece in there with your hand, you will be able to tell if it clears the wheel or not.

So you plan on putting one caliper on top of another caliper? not going to work. lmao.

Or. Your other plan was to hold it in place. Unless you can hold stuff to a mm of exactness to the mounting point. This isn't gonna work either bro. Most bbk's only clear the wheels spokes by a few mm unless you have some low ass offset wheels.

Btw, op, It should take you 30-40 minutes MAX to put a caliper on. Just put it on and put the wheel on.
