PO had the lever adjusted way too high and I'd like to drop it about an inch, if possible.
Just installed a new rear caliper, so now's the time. No fluid in the system yet.
Can someone please explain the correct procedure for lowering the lever? I found the shop manual very vague. I've also read all the threads about rear brakes locking, catching on fire, etc. after adjustment, so I'm a bit cautious.
Best (or even possible) to adjust before adding fluid or has to be done with fluid/bleed?
I have the nut on top that looks like it can only move back towards the cylinder. Then, of course the stop screw for the brake switch. I can see how this one works, but not sure about the top adjustment for the cylinder.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
