PC 8 disc brakes

[blather]

Hi
Anyone any pointers on adjusting these disc brakes?
Took off and replaced the back wheel but cant seem to get it on right that the disc arent rubbing so wonder if i should adjust these?
Thanks

I took mine off and then had a bit of difficulty getting it back on because of the disc. Managed it eventually. Make sure the wheel fixings are correct as well. They are different colours to show which side they go on.

Blue right and green left is that right?

I don't know whether they're the same as mine cable operated ones, but this should work anyway. What i do is loosen all the screws that hold the caliper; hold the brake lever on hard; do up the screws; and provided that the adjustment isn't miles out, it should work without rubbing and without pulling the disk to the side. If at that point your lever moves to far, you need to reduce the gap between the pads by loosening the little grub screw that holds the m fixed pad, adjust its position towards the disk with the adjuster screw and retighten the grub screw,

If the caliper is dual piston (which it should be) then the wheel should slip on easily, just make sure it is in the original position. Then once you have pumped the brakes a couple of times there should be no rubbing. I have removed my wheels plenty of times without a problem. At the moment I am suffering from glazed discs/pads which are ineffective and noisy - this is a first for me.
