Here's some pics of the adjuster mechanism that is pressed into the rear caliper pistons. You have to pull it out with a lot of force and press it back in with a lot of force. Very nerve wracking!

At the top of the assembly is a split-ring, that is held in place by 4 tabs.
If you forget to put the pads back in after bleeding and pad replacement, and start to pump the brakes - you can snap that split ring or one of the tabs! The symptom will be that the piston won't retract properly. Don't ask how I found that out. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
