Matt Sullivan Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Ok, trying to replace my rear pads, and I'm well and truly stuck ..... I've got the caliper wind back tool, but I just can't seem to get the piston back far enough. I'm winding away, but I've still a good 5-6mm's to go before the new pads will fit. Is there something I've missed? Trawling through the archives I can't find a definitve answer. cheers, pissed off, Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Maybe a 'Granny' question, but have you tried fitting the outboard pad first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE GILBERT Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Matt Is the handbrake nice and slack? Is it fluid lock? as it has to go somewhere. HTH Steve See My Zetec Power 7(soon to be sold :0( ) Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Sullivan Posted April 28, 2003 Author Share Posted April 28, 2003 I've got both pads fitted. Trying to replace the caliper over the top - and not even close. Handbrake nice and slack ..... errrr..... no. How do I loosen that??, or is it just a case of trying to unhook the end of the cable from the spring? (Feels very tight actually) Sorry for the dumb arse question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE GILBERT Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Plastic adjusting knob under the xmission tunnel that shortens/lengthens the U in the cable (gain access from under car) HTH Steve See My Zetec Power 7(soon to be sold :0( ) Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
