Hi guys,
Just installed the trailing arms Eric made pretty for me with new bearings and bushings. So when I went to put the caliper back on , the distance between the two brake pads was too close. Tried to get the venting adj. to loosen them up. Turning the venting adj. screw, does not seem to do anything to widen the gap. Tried to push the pads back, not any help. Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a correct way to get the pads pistons to move back in the caliper? Haynes book calls for a special spreader which I don't have. What is you method to get the pistons to move into the caliper? Thanks, Tom in Port Orchard |
