Happens to all of us no worries.

Did that work?

[bandit76]

No I couldnt get the adjuster to loosen I did get the thing off eventually but bent the adjuster in the process it was easy to bend right back in place and after cleaning up the piston and other parts the brakes bleed good and they work fine.

IS THERE SOME TRICK TO LOOSENING THE ADJUSTER???

well as long as you cleaned it up wel land put some lubricant on it that is the best that you can really do. good luck.
