You should be able to hear a clicking sound as the ratchet slides back over the teeth of the push rod. Repeated cycles of this movement will push the brake pads fully onto the disk. You will then be able to bleed the left caliper reliably. With that done the handbrake should work correctly. If there is no sound or the pads do not progress then there is a fault in the reassembly or either the ratchet or push rod are worn. Hope this helps</div><div>Cheers Roger <br><br><blockquote style="margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 2em; border-left:2px solid #00ADE5; white-space: pre-wrap "><br><br>------ Original Message ------<br>From: "Janet Scruggs via Rovernet" <rovernet@rovernet.org><br>To: "rovernet@rovernet.org" <rovernet@rovernet.org><br>Cc: "Janet Scruggs" <gjkzscruggs@verizon.net><br>Sent: Thursday, 17 Nov, 2022 At 1:39 PM<br>Subject: Re: [Rovernet] Brake Caliper issue<br><br><div style="color: black;font: 10.0pt arial;">I think you are referring to the shop called White Post.
