Got some shiny remanufactured calipers from Eric, all going well up until the outer adjustment. Inner went fine - popped in my old adjuster gears and I was able to turn them until the pad rubbed my feeler gauge, then backed off.
The outers both behave puzzlingly - the instructions are explicit to only turn them counter clockwise to move the pad inward.. so.. I have. Nothing seems to happen on either caliper.. unless I'm supposed to do hundreds of revolutions, which seems counterintuitive. Anyone have an idea? I'll call Eric on Monday if required, but I'd like to get things bolted back together. Thanks. |

unscrewing it moves the piston in. If it does not work after a couple of tries, the piston has become disengaged from the adjuster and will need to be held into the bore until the screw grabs it again.
