Right rear brake looks to have locked up after a recent caliper rebuild (less than 50 miles). I followed a pelican article and loosened the hex by going clockwise...wouldn’t twist counter. Brake pads look like they are glued to the rotor though...if anyone is in Phoenix area, there’s a six pack for anyone wanting to come to the garage and help me get the car on the road.

Ok, there's an adjuster on both pistons in each caliper. Removed both caps (need to go through the hole in the trailing arm for the inside one) and unscrew the adjuster till you see the pad start to move back towards the caliper. Some times you have to push a little on the pad while turning the adjuster.
Once you get them backed off then you can set the correct gap. |
