A tip to keep the adjuster from dropping into the bore and avoid prying on the piston with a screw driver: Hand-tighten the lever retaining nut over your 9/16 wrench before you start your CCW adjustment turn. You'll feel the adjuster get tight then loosen up, signaling that you've reached the next adjustment setting.

Much much better video explaining this than the other's I have seen. Great video up close shots of it too. Thank you very much!

[@jasonbalster3402]

Thanks for this video it was the best one I found on this style caliper you guys rock!

[@trystanellefson2947]

Thank you so much for making this up-close video!! I'm 90% finished with my rear brake disk conversion on my 97 F350 and the only thing holding me up was the placement of the Ebrake cable brackets. I could not find any good information or even clear pics of where they went. Mine are not the same but I'll definitely be able to figure out the rest thanks to you and your team. Stay safe and happy holidays!

My cobra has been down for 5 months after replacing the rear calipers. Pedal doesn't feel good, cant find the problem, i remember messing with the manual lever like that. I bet thats what will get me working.

Hi Matt, great explanation. Could you please tell me where I can buy one of those caliper springs? I cannot find any supplier that has those separate. It seems they only come with the caliper. Thank you.

Very informative! Would the process be any different for a kia forte? It looks very similar but when I get the cable arm off there doesnt seem to be a second nut to turn under it

[@Polaraco]

I have a question. You say to turn the adjustment nut counter clockwise. However, I just adjusted the left rear and had to turn it clockwise. Are the rotations left and right according to the side?

[@marvinstracke]

What if my ratchet mechanism does not work? Is that possible?

[@cmrfood]

got one on a hond civic 2013 ?

[@artfisher1235]

Wow I never knew that.

[@vladmoloce8915]

Can you do this directly on the car?

[@newedgeassassin1947]

Would this work the same way with a Mustang?

[@berthabachus2658]

Do u work on 1974 edor cadillacc

[@gabrielmendoza1125]

Can you still do the adjustment after the caliper has been bled
