Hey all!
I just received my Dawes Haymaker 1200, and was able to quickly put everything together - except for the front brakes. The outside brake pad is rubbing against the disc big time, and the mounting bolts are in extremely tight. I'm trying to use a 5mm allen key to loosen them, but I'm not sure which direction to turn, and I feel like I'm going to strip them.
Any tips? Thanks for your time!
I'm about at Section II, C, Step 2/3 (but in reverse; trying to remove it to adjust it):
