Subject: '89 900 (non-turbo) Rear Caliper Piston Question


I've adjusted the caliper piston back as far as I can but the new brake pads still won't fit. Should the front of the piston be flush with the rubber gasket? If so then what is causing it not to retract all the way? I filed down all the rust that was around the perimiter of the front of the piston but it didn't help. Does anyone have any tips for rear caliper rebuilding? Does that adjustable mechanism cause problems when the calipers are close to 20 years old? Thanks for any advice
