Harder: Make the adjustments at the adjuster under the mini-drum aka rear rotors. See instructions====> https://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/tec...Adjustment.htm |
So I'm trying to understand. In order to make the adjustment at the adjuster, then do I need to remove the brake caliper and the rotor?
Also, my wheels are pin drive (i.e. no lug nut holes). How do I access the adjuster?
