dann2707 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hey. Just topped up the brakes and noticed the TPA on the front maggy won't spin what so ever in either direction. The black plastic slaves are retracted all the way back in their housing so it's like it's stuck off. How on earth do I fix this? Cheers!

williams Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I remember mine being like these when they where brand new. I just used them a bit and after a while the TPA was 'normal'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 You have to pull them out slightly, they are shaped so they can't move while in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I know matey yeah. The other works absolutely perfect and isn't stiff at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 If you pull the adjuster out a touch, you can get a 5mm allen key into the hole that appears. Failing that, needle nose pliers on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 5mm was too small but 5.5mm worked amazing. Didn't even realise an allen key sized hole is made when that adjuster is pulled. Thanks again you lovely guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
