Title: Rear brake calliper
Post by: bobmcc13 on May 17, 2017, 18:03
I don't know whether this has been mentioned before but here goes.
I am going to fit new discs and pads to the back of my 2 and am puzzled by the handbrake adjustment.
In all the excellent info on the forum it say's turning and pressing back the cylinder into the calliper actually screws the cylinder down a threaded adjustment rod within the calliper.
My question is " Are they both right hand threaded or are they left hand and right hand threaded?'
If so which is which.
I hope my question is clear, it was hard to put into words.
Any help would be appreciated.  s:) :) s:)
