I've always wanted to verify that our parking brakes are integrated into the rear calipers, so that when we engage the parking brake, the pads squeeze the rotor. There's not an integrated parking brake/drum setup in the rotor either....so yeah, am i correct?

 

Correct

 

i thought so.

 

deebee! :eek3:

 

That's a big 10-4. Affirmative. Roger. Yes. h: Over.

 

freagn eddie. wassup man!

 

okay, on another note, when i changed my pads last year, i did NOT turn/twist the piston all the way back in (which is what i found out what to do much later) to fit the new pads over the rotors. I only twisted it enough to get the pads just over the rotors....i've only heard this in a few places that this is incorrect because it will cause the piston to be seated wrong.

either way, my brakes work fine, as well as my parking brake. my question is: should i take my brakes apart and twist the piston all the way in, and put it back together so the piston seats correctly?
