I need to adjust the front brake caliper on my 2008 P3. The wheel is not centered between the two pads. How do I loosen the caliper?

Looks like a standard mount, so there should be a nut that you access from the back of the fork, probably with an allen head.

Or, you could just grab the caliper and move it without loosening anything, it’s unlikely that it’s so tight you can’t move it by hand.

What type of brakes? There should be an adjustment screw, or allen nut, on the top that micro adjusts and centers the brakes. Most people just force it with their hands, but there is a nut or screw there for a reason.

Thanks guys. Easy job when you know how to do it. Also what’s optimum spacing between pad and rim?
