I know which 14mm one youre talking about, but I didnt touch it. I tried to adjust the two hex bolts covered by plastic plugs.
I have new pads that I tried to install to fix the problem, but the caliper is too far out to fit the thick new pads in. I tried to gently push the caliper piston back in with a C-clamp but I didn't put much force on it cause i didn't want to break it. On my old C900 the caliper rotated in like a screw and that retracted it, but on this 9000 there are no holes for a tool to turn it.
I think if I can get the new pads in, it might help the ebrake problem. If not, Ill check out the console adjustment.
Can someone tell me how to compress the caliper?
Thanks
Robert
