If I was a technician this answer would be good but since I am not it would sure help to tell me where the self adjuster lock out pin is located and the adjusting nut.

Accepted Answer

There is nothing to remove or even do. the lock out pin was removed at the factory and the system is self adjusting just by using it.

If your having a problem, it's likely in the shoes. they wear out frequently and sometimes ruin the rotor in the process.
