rear caliper piston problem?
-matt - 25/8/10 at 04:44 PM

well ive been refurbing my sierra calipers.

but have a problem with re-installing the one rear piston.

basically if i turn it in with no downforce (even if its most of the way down the caliper), then it just spinns.

it will only go down into the caliper if i put lots of force onto it.

any ideas if this will cause me any problems?

as i don't really know how the rear calipers work.

cheers

Thats correct you have to apply force when turning the piston back in

ah good.

just the other side went in with barely any force.

also is there likely to be a problem with the one that went in very easy, with no force required?
