For a '74 /4, with stock brakes. I need to adjust the venting, and I can't remove the inner adjuster covers, thus attempting to remove the calipers to get at them. I can't seem to fit a socket and breaker bar in there, what are my best options for tools to get the bolts loose, assuming I'll have to buy something anyway?
Thanks! Matt |

Matt Use some BP Catalyst or WD40 and let them soak an hour or so. A box wrench should do fine, that is how I removed mine. If you have a Dead blow hammer that would help with loosening them up too. A small section of pipe for extra leverage would be ideal if you can fit it in the well and over your wrench. That inner adjuster is going to be a pain to get off without removing the caliper. Good Luck. |
