I just rebuilt the right rear caliper on my milano. I git the out side adjustment right but i cant seem to get the inside adjustment. I turn it clockwise but it doesnt seem to move the pad to the rotor.
I dont think im turning it the wrong way but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Mozerman,
Rotating the 7mm screw counter-clockwise should tighten it. Same for the outside adjustment for that matter. I've never rebuilt a caliper so don't know what the insides look like. Hopefully the threads (work drive?) arn't stripped.
Good luck.

As for the left rear caliper, turn the inside adjustment clockwise to tighten.

Oops, that should be worm drive.

If you do need to rebuild the calipers, there is a good doc here:
