I put new rubber on the bike and mistakenly took the top brake bolt out, now I can't get it to bolt/seat all the way in, like 1/2 an inch. Any suggestions?
P.S. I do not know how i did this by myself 5 years ago on my old valk. The real wheel was a chore to replace needed a strong son in law to help

Are you talking about the pin that has threads on the first 3/4" or so of it?

Thanks Britman!. I didn't think that far ahead.... I was going to upload a pic, but didn't have the time.
Yes, we need just a bit more info to help you out. I just finished with a rear (and front) wheel skin replacement and put all those parts and pieces back together.

Check to make sure the front end of the brake pads are seated in their little notch. That will prevent moving the caliper around to line it up for that bolt.
