Anyone ever had this before?
Was refurbing some rear calipers; sandblasted them, resprayed them, got kits from 'alfa75parts' to do the seals. I got three pistons done perfectly (easy, too easy
). Anyway while retracting the final piston (inboard, left I think), I heard a sudden 'ping' and the retract mechanism went light, too light.
Transpires the adjuster mechanism inside the piston had come loose from the piston and was simply rotating to itself on the adjuster screw.
Eventual got all the bits apart again, so I should be able to get it working, but I was just wondering if it's something that happens, or was I just unlucky?
