So, a few minutes ago I tried replacing my rear brake pads with out success. I was unable to retract the pistons far enough into the calipers to fit the new pads in. All I did during my failed attempt was remove the old pads, then pry against the pistons. This process has worked for me on other vehicles, but I had almost no luck on the 914. I was able to retract the pistons a little, but not nearly enough to get the new pads installed. What am I forgetting to do? What am I doing wrong?

back out/in the adjusters.
venting clearance that is... outer adjuster you turn clockwise to move the piston out (retract), inner piston you turn anti-clockwise allen head ~4mm |
