Searched and couldn't nail exactly the help I was looking for. So figured I would ask in a new thread.
My rear brakes I let the pads wear waaaay to far. Well, I've only driven the car a few hundred miles and I thought they had more meat on the pads. Nope. Long story short, both pistons on the outer sides pulled in via the adjuster just fine but both inner appear to have gone past the threads. I can't seem to get them to catch back onto the adjuster. Anyone have any tricks? |

That's what happened to me. This 914 sat for a number of years. Bleed the brakes, worked them, seemed okay. Did an eyeball check of the pads which looked good enough I thought for the rest of the year. Turns out the rears were farther worn that I thought. The pistons pushed past the adjusters. I haven't had a chance to mess with the inner pistons again yet. I picked all new pads this morning making sure to match front and rear.
I am sort of hoping I don't need to rebuild the rears. Well, I am sure it wounldn't hurt. I just don't have the time right now. I'm sure it'll work, but I'll let you guys know if appling a small amount of pressure on the piston to get it back into the adjuster works or not. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
