Good morning!
Spent a rainy Saturday PM rebuilding a rear caliper. Everything went fine until I got to re-installing the adjuster on the parking brake half. Am having a hard time holding the spring/cover down and compressing the circlip to fit. That the circlip doesn't have any holes in the ends makes things more difficult . . . . Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Steve A- |

hmmm...i just rebuilt mine....I used a long thin socket head and a c-clamp to compress it...then put in the circlip...but mine had the holes in the ends so I could use that funky tool for these things. Maybe you should go down and get new circlips?
