    I've gained valuable knowledge from your videos; specifically changing the L/R caliper and bleeding the brakes. I didn't know about the parking brake adjustment, so I squeezed the caliper open. Thank you for your excellent videos.

    thi sis the best rear miata brake caliper video on YT. so many people go off by any of the other guides that don't even mention the allen adjuster, and most end up using a retraction tool, destroying their calipers and crying on the various FB pages.

    I took mine to a brake shop a while back and I don’t think they adjusted the Allen head screw, sometimes I’ll hear a little clunk from the rear when I would go to hit the brakes. Thanks to you I’ll be able to do it myself the right way 👍

  • @evanschill492

    Another great video. I did want to ask though. I've adjusted my rear brakes as per your videos information. The issue that I'm running into, adjusting the caliper gears to tight, and the half turn back off, when I apply the parking brake, the car will roll, like the parking brake is only partially working. There is tension compared to the parking brake not being engaged, but slight hills and all bets are off the car is rolling away if not in gear. I've adjusted the adjustment screw at handle in the car, any other recommendations, or perhaps a trouble shooting video for the parking brake system?

  • @davidrojas2581
    @davidrojas2581 2 роки тому

    So you said usually what leaks on these is the ebrake, mine is leaking does that mean the whole caliper needs to be replaced or should I take that bolt off where the pin is and see if it’s loose and tighten it ?

    I was just initially just changing out my pads but as soon as I started retracting the piston using the Allen key my caliper began hemorrhaging brake fluid so it turned into a brake caliper replacement.

    Hey Al, I changed my rear brake pads yesterday, and one of the pistons was pretty stucked, I had to push it back with a c-clamp (gently) while turning the adjuster screw because it didn't move with the adjuster screw alone. I could tight it back though, and it brakes just fine so the piston seems pretty free to move now. But also the adjuster screws (both sides) were pretty grimy, with a really bad smell. I bled all the system but do you think I should change the calipers anyway? Is that a symptom of the beginning of a leak?

    • @aracing
      @aracing  2 роки тому +1

      I had one the other day with the exact same thing. I did the exact same thing as you. I did notice that the ebrake doesn't work on that side. That is the only symptom I can see. I will be replacing that caliper in the near future.

    I let a shop replace my rear calipers and now the pedal is squishy, i can push it to the floor and it doesnt brake very well. After i pump it a few times it becomes normal but a second later when im off the brake it becomes squishy again. Bled the system 3 times and nothing. Any idea?

    • @aracing
      @aracing  2 роки тому

      Two things come to mind, one you are right that it is not bled all the way and two the rear adjusters are not adjusted correctly. I would look at those two items before I move onto a master cylinder. Master cylinder is a long shot.
