14mm Wrench & 4mm Allen Wrench

I just replaced both rears on my 92. Most of the rear calipers I have
worked on have a 14mm head screw covering the access hole and a 4mm allen wrench piston adjustment screw. One rebuilt unit I just received also had an Allen Wrench screw covering the adjustment screw access hole.
If you tried to force the piston back, you may have damaged the self
adjustment & the internal parking brake mechanism. I suspect that is what someone did to mine, which then resulted in "poor" parking brake performance and caused the piston to "lock-up" when the parking brake was fully engaged.
