TOMS OFFROAD Tech Tips: Rear Disc Brake Caliper Adjustment 

A tip to keep the adjuster from dropping into the bore and avoid prying on the piston with a screw driver: Hand-tighten the lever retaining nut over your 9/16 wrench before you start your CCW adjustment turn. You'll feel the adjuster get tight then loosen up, signaling that you've reached the next adjustment setting.

Much much better video explaining this than the other's I have seen. Great video up close shots of it too. Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for making this up-close video!! I'm 90% finished with my rear brake disk conversion on my 97 F350 and the only thing holding me up was the placement of the Ebrake cable brackets. I could not find any good information or even clear pics of where they went. Mine are not the same but I'll definitely be able to figure out the rest thanks to you and your team. Stay safe and happy holidays!

Thanks for this video it was the best one I found on this style caliper you guys rock!

My cobra has been down for 5 months after replacing the rear calipers. Pedal doesn't feel good, cant find the problem, i remember messing with the manual lever like that. I bet thats what will get me working.

What if my ratchet mechanism does not work? Is that possible? when I turn it into the opposite direction, I feel some resistance, yes. But cycling it forth and back doesn't do anything to the position - so no adjustment at all. Needless to say that I'm doing it exactly as in the video. Any solutions?

Hi Matt, great explanation. Could you please tell me where I can buy one of those caliper springs? I cannot find any supplier that has those separate. It seems they only come with the caliper. Thank you.

I have a question. You say to turn the adjustment nut counter clockwise. However, I just adjusted the left rear and had to turn it clockwise. Are the rotations left and right according to the side? Being a Disc brake conversion on a 62 Chrysler, it took quite a while to get it adjusted. I'm not sure it's right yet. My park cable has come apart so I can't test it to be sure. I did this in the car.

Nice! Great job guys!

Awsome vid

Thanks . Its so usefull.

great video thank you

Very informative! Would the process be any different for a kia forte? It looks very similar but when I get the cable arm off there doesnt seem to be a second nut to turn under it

got one on a hond civic 2013 ?

Can you do this directly on the car?

Can you still do the adjustment after the caliper has been bled

How would I go about this since I have it mounted and already filled with liquid?

Wow I never knew that.

Whats an e brake please? I only know footbrake and handbrake :-o

Would this work the same way with a Mustang?

Do u work on 1974 edor cadillacc

This caliper design is pathetic. European Bosh ones have none of this nonsense as they are self adjusting..

The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎👎👎💩💩💩💩😬
