^ agreed..and..take it completly off..clean the insides..and esp the part where the break pads slide. make sure its smooth and not full of grit.

same thing i did..bought a rear caliper off ebay for 90$ cleaned it up greased it up..but it on..worked amazing..traded the quad a week later..now i got hydros..I:I

 

[blaster1993]

ya i cleaned evrything and greased it all(bout a week back) and theyr still not working the pedel dosnt seem to do anything either! lik not moving the pads

 

[Liquid5soul]

is the screw turnd out to the pad far enough? Try not self adjusting like some ppl say. ive NEVERRRRRRR had them self adjust for me.

 

[blaster1993]

i duno! how dose it come out? i looked up a thing about ajustin they bu cant make sence outov it!

 

[1997blaster]

then take iff the 3 srews and turn the white nob a couple of clicks

 

[Liquid5soul]

ok..the white plactic cap..remove it...it just pulls right off. now at the opp side od the plastic cap is the rod you have to screw outward...it should turn easily..or its siezed.

 

[blaster1993]

ok..! il try it tomoro!
thanks man I:I I:I

 

[Liquid5soul]

no problem..if it doesnt twist..spray wd-40 or anti sieze spray in the hole where the white cap is and let it sit..the try and twist the end with some vise grips.

 

[blaster1993]

where ta twist it is it a nut thing? lik use a spanner ta twist it?

 

[Liquid5soul]

yea its the very end of the setup...if i was home id take a pic for you. its the piece that pushes against the brake pad.

 

[blaster1993]

no need to go tru hassel just for a pic ! ill find it! ill give a shot tomoro!
thanks again man............!!!!!!!

 

[Liquid5soul]

no problem bro..rep points welcome..lol

 

[blaster1993]

rep givin man( well i tried ta give them anyway...lol)if the rep didn work tell me and ill try again I:I I:I

 

[blaster1993]

right so this is where i stand...!!
i tried to adjust out the brake but didnt seem to work(all it did was turn the bit with the ball bearings)
then put a 3mm peice of steel into it to try make up the space but the brakes just jam then i tried loosen the 3 allen key bolts out a small bit but that just made the brakes real light and i cant get them right! either jammed or bearly pushing against the disk!
any ideas liquid5soul?? thanks dude

 

[Liquid5soul]

the part the you turned...shouldnt have move the bearings..it should have spun out freely..with out any other parts moving.

 

[blaster1993]

didnt work like that for me! would it be seized? i also took off that white cap and put wd-40 down into it
