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 |

Yup.
I never grease that assembly. I do however put a dab on the adjuster shaft. I think the high speed spinning is enough to overcome the inertia of the mechanism and the adjuster. |
