Thanx I didnt see that reply, I know where to adjust it, I just didnt know if there was a special procedure. I have adjusted them before and the start leaking, I thinbk it started because I used tranny fluid instaed of powers teering fluid, DONT DO IT.


Anyways, When you get the rear cover (laerge one off) be careful that you don lose the bearings when you pull the piston out, They will fall. There is a U shaped retainer that hols some of the bearings. If you notice on the U shape retainer, they have a small extrusion on the end that prevents the bearings from going ouf the grooves in the pinion shaft during normal operation. The instruction say there is a special tool to use, but you dont have to. When you are ready to install the large piston again, you can angle it enough so you can reisntall the bearing. just becareful and watch what your doing and it is possible. and above all KEEP YOUR PATIENCE. the instructions you get with the kit are pretty good, but you still have to figure out how some things work. another thing i noticed, is keep trying when your removing the retainer clips and such, they will come out. GOOD LUCK
