using the above methods. When the piston is fully ‘IN’ then the piston should be turned ‘OUT’ half to 1 turn.
The handbrake mechanism is now set.'

I never knew the information on this sheet. I don't know why it isn't supplied with every replacement calliper!
Oh, I see, so there basically is some slack between the handbrake screw and the piston, so the piston has to be manually rotated outwards after a finishing a rebuild to take the slack out.

Golden information, thanks a bunch!
