New rebuild calipers.
I have not yet bled the brakes. Inner rear adjustment went as I remember it going. Inner pads set at .005. I found a couple different specs for the adjustment so I just went with .005. Outer rear adjuster just spins. I can spin it as much as I want and the pad does not move closer to the rotor. This is for both rear calipers. So I suspect operator error. It’s been 15 years and I don’t remember the magic words. For late calipers do you not need to adjust the outer adjuster? Is it just the inner adjuster that needs to get set? HELP! Zach |

You might need an inner adjuster gear. PMB sales them.
