my calipers were all fully restored by PMB performance around
5 years ago of so, when we did all new hard and soft lines. The whole system was replaced then, and i check and set clearance yearly. last year i had to do a new master cylinder so i did that ans set the clearance right before Werks Reunion last May. now it’s time again and i noticed when i pulled the wheel there is a very small amount of fluid leakage around that outer adjuster, and after i loosened the lock but i turned the inter adjuster but it didn’t tighten up the pad at all it just spins! there is way too much space there and it needs to be in quite a bit. any thoughts here? am i going to need to send this in? @EricShea Attached thumbnail(s) |

If, in fact, you need to rebuild the caliper it's not that hard to do. PMB has a YouTube video that is very good. I did all 4 of mine and they came out great. Very simple design.
