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!

I found a VW part that is identical to the original except for the hex key size. The number is at home, so I can't tell you now. The other trick is that the calipers originally used a copper washer under the cap. The first step I use to remove the cap is to hammer it, causing it to loosen up. Then I use something to clean the crud out of the socket before using the Allen key. If there is too much crud in there, you don't get enough engagement. I like to make sure my Allen keys are in good shape, and I like to get the rounded tip removed to improve engagement. Does anyone know of a source for the internal gear?
