Looked at the thread and cannot for the life of me find the allen key and bolt they are talking about, can anyone post a pic of this as I am having an absolute mare adjusting the f****** things
There is a bolt that you take out, and the allen screw is inside..
The bolt is directly behind the pad..

Look on the back side of the caliper. You will see one bolt holding the handbrake bracket on the caliper and the one next to it is the plug you need to remove to gain access to the allen screw.
Found the little blighter, now just got to wait for my black Diamonds to turn up and voila- MOT and car back on road and big grin returning to my boat.
Finally got to sort out the handbrake and find that the hand brake arm on one of the calipers has hardly any movement on it.
So rather than muck about have just ordered two new calipers. 80 quid each plus VAT so so far my car has cost me about 200 to get thru its MOT. Can't complain as thought it was going to be more.They will be here in about an hour so will probget them on tonight or first thing tomorrow morning
yep, one of mine did that and at first i just dismantled it as best i could and greased it up with some lithium grease ( or whatever grease it was!) was fine for a 3 months or so then it got bad again. But for £80plus vat its def worth changing them. sounds like a bit of a bargain?!!!
.....and so i find myself asking, 'At what point does the 'end' start?!'
Its through a company called motorpartsdirect. Got a discount for returning the old ones. Quick delivery as well, phoned them at about 1530 and they had arrived an hour later. Would have put them on today but am still waiting for the Black Diamond discs and pads and can't be asked to reset the old ones up and possibly dismantle them tomorrow morning.
Still, fingers crossed will all be done by the weekend for sure
