How often can one open the inner brake venting cap and complete the adjustment for the venting clearance? Most always the 4mm internal hex strips out and we are left with removing the caliper to make things right. If we are going through this would it make sense to thread into the existing cap and screw a bolt as to allow for us to grip an external hex?

That cap can be replaced with one that has a hex head on it.
However, that protruding cap will interfere with the rear trailing arm during removal of the caliper itself, and the cap will have to be removed prior to being able to remove the caliper. I've accepted that slight inconvenience and replaced mine. |
