Fred Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 You must also slacken the cable back, before you adjust up the calipers. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Bought mine after changing the pads - would the piston back the hard way. Forearms were pumped up for hours afterwards....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Try your angle grinder key first !  Mine (Bosch) fitted & worked a treat. 😬 😬 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
