Thanks to all who responded to my rear brake query, both here and via
e-mail. The consensus seems to be that the outboard adjuster has
probably gone beyond its limit and that I need to push the piston in
while turning the adjuster to get it to thread itself back into the
piston. It looks like it will be next weekend before I have a chance to
try it.
One thing I neglected to mention in my earlier post: When I was turning
the outboard adjuster I was getting seepage of brake fluid from around
the adjuster itself. I assume there is an "O-ring seal in there
someplace. There is no evidence of a leak when the lock nut is snugged
up. Is this normal or does it indicate a problem.
Thanks
John
