I'm bleeding my brakes and find a leak in one of the rear calipers right at the adjuster screw on the outer piston. I pull the caliper off and take it apart and find that there is no o-ring, gasket or other means of sealing the adjuster screw. It's simply a metal to metal fit and I can't imagine that that's enough to seal.
I've got a rebuild kit and there isn't a seal included for that adjuster screw. There is one for the other piston. So what am I missing here? Is there supposed to be an o-ring or something else to seal that screw? Thanks. Tom |

I learned the hard way. Mine was leaking, bought some rebuild kit off evil bay, before I knew about pmb. They didn't come with the orings, and leaked right away. Needless to say when I did my fronts,Eric got the order !
