[DeTomaso] rear brake

[Dagny Kristine Bakken]

Gudmund,
If you can push the piston in,it seems likely that your piston has turned( a
1/4 turn is enough) so that you have freed up the mecanism inside.The piston
shall be turned such that the grove you see on it is horisontally,then it
shall be locked so you no longer can push it in.If you have the proper
brakepad for your car you will see a square piece raised up on the backside
of the pad,that goes into the grove of the piston and lock it so it cant
rotate and cause malfunction.

Best regards
Øyvind Bakken

My e brake didnt work and i stripped the caliper.I was not able to identify
the actual couse but it seems to me the piston had some fine treads on it
and they where slipping when they got som force on piston.Are there any who
hawe some good ideas how to sort this problem?
Best regards     Gudmund Froiland
