Hope someone can help (Eric Shea? are you out there?). I rebuilt the rear calipers on my 71, and went to adjust the venting clearance on the right side and ran into a problem. The adjuster on the outside half just spins without pushing out the piston. I am guessing I assembled it incorrectly but when putting it back together I swear everything was working (2 weeks ago), now it just spins. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
Hope someone comes up with easy solution, or else tomorrow off it comes and I will tear it apart and check it out. Oh, by the way, thanks Eric Shea for the rebuild write up in the Classic Forum, could not have done it without you. Jim |

There is nothing to stop the adjuster from spinning in the piston, just friction. If you lube it up too much during assembly, then there is almost no friction. Spinning with the air wench may scuff away some of that lube and increasing friction to the point that it works as intended.
