(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Eric's Rear Brake Venting Post Zach Okay, first of all, right in that thread, The Cap'n specifically states he's never had to re-set the venting clearance between pad changes. Second of all, if they were not designed to be self-adjusting, is there a spot in the Owner's Manual that says to adjust rear venting clearance as part of periodic maintenance and not just when putting in new pads? Not that I'm saying they all work, or the design works well, but I believe that every time the brakes are applied there is small force that is supposed to make the mechanism move outward by rotating on the screw. But it's been many years since I've had the parts out. |

At least, that is not my understanding as to how it works. The 914 rears do not self adjust at all, so you need to re-adjust them every 6 months or at the start of every driving season. As the pads wear, the calipers have to push them farther to get to the rotor, until they just don't work at all. Zach That's NOT true. They self adjust as the pads wear. You DO NOT have to periodically readjust them. The Cap'n |
