Not piston! Brake cylinder (sorry was tired)

Not piston! Brake cylinder (sorry was tired)

 

 Piston is fine usage.

 

Also I would go & check every so often as I had done the strip down, hone, new seals & skirts & fitted the extra return springs. Still had the problem return 18months later! Just prise the rubber cover around the pivot where it goes into the back of the calliper & squirt some penetrating oil in as it rusts under this rubber skirt as well!.

I've got drums, no calipers... Hence the wrong terminology :p

If you adjust too far then obviously you could end up causing the back brakes to 'drag' and get hot.

So keep that in mind.

Jack the back of car up whilst adjusting via the nut until you have about 4 clicks and check rear wheels by hand to ensure they are not binding when you release handbrake off.
