I just removed my rear brake pads that where pretty much rusted to the pistons and rotors from two years of storage. The pistons where not moving. I got the pads out and when I tried to adjust the pistons with the adjuster screws I lost some fluid and the pistons tightened up on the rotors with no pads on. What do I do. It seems that when I try to adjust the pistons in and out I'm not getting any movement. I've never tried this before and it's very frustrating right now. Any help, suggestions or even a picture of how I'm supposed to tackle this would be very much appreciated. Exactly how do you use the adjusters? do I loosen the nut and then use the hex screw. As you can tell I'm totally lost. Thanks

Eric,
Thanks, It's a small world. I bought my house in Suttons Bay when I retired from the Navy in 1998 and lived there till 2004 and then took an Civilian Engineering job in Alaska for a couple years to get two new Brigades up and running. I'm now working at the Tank Command in Warren as a Communications Engineer on the Army Strykers. Anyhow I'm wondering if I should send the calipers to someone for a rebuild or try it myself. I'm a Comm Engineer and haven't done much mechanical and brakes are something you don't want to mess up. |
