Default Having removed a rear rotor without marking it....

I had no way of knowing which way it had set on the studs. Having read afterwards about it, you are supposed to mark it so that it is installed the same way. I think it is a little off now, as I have had some brake leakage since then, on a new caliper. Any ideas on how to fix this?

It shouldn't be THAT big of a deal if the rotor and studs were nice and clean...it shouldn't cause a caliper to leak!?!? Did you have the rotors turned or anything like that? If there's a noticeable wobble then you will want to pull the rotor back off and make sure it's sitting flush against the hub, and that no foreign particles are wedged near the studs. Other than that and double checking the seals in the calipers I would be baffled.

Invest in a inexpensive dial indicator and magnetic stand. With the dial inticator you can check the rotor for run out and shim with shims made from pop cans to get it to almost zero.
Other then that do what Rockn- Roll said.

I did the same thing, but was able to test fit the rotor a few times & line up the rivit holes. Only went back in one position that all the rivit holes lined up.

Hi
If you watch it, you find out it only can be installed in a very unique position. This due to the parking brake adustment hole being offset. Align it + the rivet holes and voila.
Good luck Gunther
