Didjeridave Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Having issues with rear calipers. New rear pads were fitted (not by me!) & handbrake was ineffective, even with the cable taken all the way in. Took the whole lot off again, slackened the cable, refitted & all worked nicely, but handbrake is quite quickly feeling like it needs adjusting again (few hundred miles). Possibly the auto adjust is worn? It's a hell of a mechanism looking at the diagram!Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesyMB6 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Everyone says about handbrake problems, but apart from mine sticking on every so often its been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Set the piston manually before putting the pads in by turning it anticlockwise. Try and get about 1mm gap. Then adjust the handbrake cable to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
