Re: Rear caliper problem Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Sat, 24 May 2014 19:14:18 In Reply to: Rear caliper problem, Erik919kt, Sat, 24 May 2014 13:54:27 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
When retracting the piston to make room for new pads, it is important to help the piston along with a prybar when at the same time turning the adjusting screw.
Even though it is possible to retract the piston by the screw (gear) alone, it puts a lot of stress onto the connecting point inside caliper and it could easily get damaged. Especially is rust climates when things are sticky anyway.
So I always helps it along with a prybar when backing out the piston.
