Side view of what the adjuster end looks like once installed in the car. The allen bolt on the bottom of the arm is what locks the adjuster in place. Make sure this is tight. You can also see that the modification has been performed to allow the tire to sit correctly.

What the arms look like after the required modification. The modification is nothing more than removing the locking nut and then screwing the adjustable mount in as far as it will go along with the adjuster. The nut that I removed is sitting below and to the right of the new arm, near where it was removed from.

Top down view of what the new arm looks like. This arms comes much closer to the CV axle than the old one did, but it misses and is no issue.

From this angle, it looks like the arm might touch the CV axle. Trust me, it clears. Not a lot of extra space, but there is enough.

The mating surfaces cleaned. You can see the dramatic difference between before and after. At this point, put the caliper back together and you are golden. Just don't poke a hole in the weather seal for the piston

If you look at the collar of the actuator and the matching surface of the caliper body, you can see all the rust that is the issue. All if this needs to be removed. You should be able to put the two pieces back together and move them with your hand when you are done. Do not forget to lube them to prevent future problems.

Shot of the Pentabolt removed. Look inside the hole. Make special note of how the inside piece is positioned. You will need to return it to this position. It fits many ways, but can only be installed 1 way for everything to work properly.

If you look closely, you can see a brown ring between the shaft and the body of the caliper. That is rust. The shaft has rusted to the body, resulting in the e-brake not being able to move. You need to remove this rust.

The e-brake lever has been removed. You can see the weather seal there. You will need to remove this. A small screw driver will allow you to slide under this seal and it will pop right off.

Inside shot of the caliper. The rubber weather gasket for the piston has been removed. But the inside piston seal is still there (black ring).

Starting to remove the piston. Rotate till the piston will not come out any more. Then pull the piston straight out. If you are even at a slight angle, it will fight you the whole way. You see that the boot will stretch to fit over the piston.

The start of the rebuild. Underneath shot. Notice the 5 point (14mm) bolt. You will need to remove this later. Requires a special (pentasocket) socket.

Top shot of the caliper. Notice how the e-brake arm is nice and rusty. You will see later where this rust has caused this to bind up. If you see the post at the 4 o'clock position on the lever, that should be up against the bolt at the 6 o'clock position. Obviously frozen.

Mine and Nav's X-Types side by side. Nav is looking to get the wheel well gap like I have once he gets his drop springs installed.
