I have a 1G and i have replaced EVERYTHING on the rear brakes. New powerslot rotors, new OEM pads, remanufactured calipers and replaced the driver side e-brake cable since in was pretty bad. My problem is the parking brake isn't working. I can SEE it actuating on both sides, but the driver side doesn't get tight. The passenger side does.
I looked at the calipers and noticed a space between the pads and the rotors on the driver side that isn't there on the passenger side. So it looks like the auto adjuster that is supposed to set the clearance is working on the passenger side, but not the driver side.
My questions are:
Is there any way to test the auto adjuster?
What needs to happen to force the auto adjuster to adjust?
Is there anything that can be done to force it to adjust or do i need to replace the caliper because it wasn't remanufactured correctly?
