(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Any suggestions on what to do? the RR outboard pads have zero clearance to the disc and I can't seem to make the outboard adjuster do anything - brakes seem to work fine (other than the sticking pads) - is it likely a seized piston? if so what are my options?
have already considered big hammer help! (stock white 74 1.8 - if I ever get technologically with it I'll post a pic) |

Are you removing the plastic cap (has a hex head on it) and using an allan wrench to adjust? Sorry if that seems real basic, but at first glance that can catch you (thinking the cap will do the adjusting.
