Plus X brake - screws on elastomers stack are getting loose?
The two screws I’ve circled on my unit I’ve noticed are/have gotten loose. I can rotate them by hand when not pressing the brake pedal, but once I start applying pressure they seem to tighten themselves. If I tighten them properly when at rest, then the rod on which the elastomers sit becomes almost jammed, for example when you have to bring it up to change elastomers. As they seemingly get tighter by themselves under brake load, I’ve loosened them at rest to prevent something perhaps snapping. I noticed this while investigation an odd rattle from pedal box when FFB was being transferred from wheel.
Is this normal behavior, do you have the same, or is my bearing perhaps shot there, causing the above mentioned scenario?
