When Changing brakes on my Z400

[titanesso]

Hi guys, I have the same problem, but stil I am unable to squeeze-in the piston a little more, I remove the lever for the emergency brake, but still doesn't want to go back.. I try to unscrew/nut behind the cylinder but is tight like hell. Any tricks on how to back out the screw, I put WD-40 and hope that helps. But let see. Also in the middle of the piston there is like a circle pad that came off, I assume that is to keep dust away from the piston should I glue it back?
Thanks for your help

Ok yeah I know what yur talkin about...that pad thingy was on mine too, I just placed it back on there...was it supposed to be glued, idk either way its not coming out. Ill have to see if I can back that bolt out....I didnt really put a lot of effort into trying to move that bolt but when I was messing around with it, it was pretty tight and just moving the springs back and forth but not loosening up.

Did you loosen the locknut at bottom of bolt?

Thank you guys for replying; I believe(Hebo) I know which locknut your talking about, It is pretty hard to remove, I finally got ther pads to go in by removing the emergency brake, however When I put the E-brakes back again, The screw compress the piston and locks the tires... I will keep trying, I let you guys know the final outcome.

Thanks again!

Well guys, the final outcome was that I had to remove the parking brake; When I took apart, one piece was broken and I believe, on top of that when I remove the whole pieces, I still can't adjust the screw(bolt). So far I tested the quad whitout parking break and it is breaking ok. I will investigate more to see if it is worth it to replace the parking mecahnism.

Thanks guys again.
