pull the little plastic cover off around the handle and there is a 10mm nut on the side of the lever....tighten it
Hi, just did rear brakes....It's been a while and had to do a learning curve of remember the piston is a twist in and not a C-clamper instead of looking online first!, darnit, hehe. anyways.......saw the importance of silicone lube after i put brakes back on and also parking brake isn't tight enough and I think I ran out of thread on the nut by parking brake, so my questions are....
1. Can I lube the rear calipers even though I assembled everything completely?
2. Can I get to the allen bolt without jacking up the car or disassembling everything to I can make the piston tighter so I can get more slack on the parking brake bolt so I can get a properly working parking brake?
3. Or should I just go to a brake place and tell em I'm over it and don't want to spend anymore time on my amateur job and just have them do the above two mentioned things for hopefully a low cost?
Thanks and please help! : )
ps. Oh, and I did all this with just the spare tire jack that is stowed in car trunk, hah, I dunno if that's good or not....
