Re: Rear calliper/handbrake rebuild

Hi, A difficult one to convey so I apologise for that Basically I want to know how far to seat/screw down this “nut” that I’ve labelled. I’ve drawn option 1 or option 2 (opt 2 being fully seat) Any confusion do let me know haha https://i.postimg.cc/KkjrHNSZ/IMG-0024.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/jLP6m29J...

Re: Rear calliper/handbrake rebuild

Ok so back with hopefully some last questions after fluid pushing the piston out to change the seal. When reinstalling the brake piston, how far down do I thread the internal nut onto the threaded shaft/adjuster (see photo). Does the end of the thread need to touch the piston or do I need the nut fl...

Winding back, or you risk breaking the mechanism
Ooo ok.. I did push back one side so I’ll cross my fingers.

Thanks :)

Re: Rear calliper/handbrake rebuild

The piston is wound in and out, by means of the adjuster, which is accessed via the small bolt on the back (12mm head), use an Allen Key to make the adjustments. If you put in the Allen Key and it does nothing, then check that it's actually in there. As for final adjustment, different people have d...

Just a quick one on rebuilding the rear callipers After removing the piston I find the threaded insert staring at me. I’ve read the old posts explaining what this does in regards to play but I just want some help understanding how to reinstall and put back together. Does the piston wind back in or p...

Fuel pressure issue

Probe 2.0 / 16v 1995 Blue Hi all, I’ve got a fuel pressure issue where I’m not getting enough of it. Car only starts when the fuel pump is constantly powered via the diagnostic plug so I’m guessing it’s enough build up to start the car but can’t keep it up. Pump was changed few months ago from a car...
