I started the refurb of my rear calipers today. i tested it before stripping and the hand brake piston worked as it should.
I watched the pmb youtube video and stripped the caliper but did not remove the handbrake mechanism. The easy side was refurbed first and all is good there. When i tried to reassemble the hand brake side i cannot get the piston to wind back on. I've tried lots of ways but no joy. So i checked the threads and both seem ok except for a small notch inside the piston itself (see pic) When i checked the threaded part inside the piston i can turn it quite freely, so trying to wind a bolt into it won't happen as there is no resistance. Any ideas? Is the mechanism inside the piston knackered? |

Ditto on watching the PMB video. I just watched the pertinent section for a refresh.
Counterclockwise. While pressing on the piston with the other hand. |
