Good morning!
Spent a rainy Saturday PM rebuilding a rear caliper. Everything went fine until I got to re-installing the adjuster on the parking brake half. Am having a hard time holding the spring/cover down and compressing the circlip to fit. That the circlip doesn't have any holes in the ends makes things more difficult . . . . Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Steve A- |

Thanks for the advice. I was able to find a pair of metric circlips (non-FLAPS), but the "ears" interfered with the spring cover/hat. I put the original back in using the technique you described. I found that using the C-clamp as Jim described really helped too. Not too much biker language required . . . .
What kind of cover is that on your car (pictured in your avatar)? I've been looking for one like that--need to put it on my Christmas list. Great looking car too! Thanks again, Steve A- |
