This is on a 2014 abs Touring where I recently replaced the caliper & caliper carrier. I screwed it in pretty far & it seems to be working fine, but I don't know the how & why of it.
Can anyone tell me how this should be adjusted? I couldn't find any reference in my shop manual.
Thanks

i think that should be turned all the way in and tighten. you might try to find a torque setting.

Good to know. I think I screwed it in about 3/4 of the way. Thanks!

Needs to go in fully on carrier, tiny bit will stick out other side, got to remember that thread holds the calliper as it grips the disc, **** loads of pressure
