if you take the rotor off it becomes a super easy adjustment, also lets you see then for a nice visual look see.


if your not into taking them all apart, on the backing plate like where the hub is on the back, you will see a hole, with or with out a rubber plug snapped into it, its about a inch wide and maybe 1/2 tall, enough room to stick a flat blade screw driver or a brake tool in there to work the star wheel tighter, like i said, it should only turn one way, and that is tighter.

if you can get your head up in there with a flash light you should be able to see the star wheel, that way you know what your going after.

i finally found a pic of a star wheel in case you not sure, this is not the right car at all but the thin star wheel is about the same looks wise. the hole should be directly behind the star wheel.
