No, ABS came upon the Ferrari scene in mid 1988

There is a plastic cap on the outer half that covers an adjuster to retract the piston. There is another adjuster on the inboard side as well. I forget what covers the allen head adjuster on the inside but I believe its a bolt. Remove the bolt to expose the screw. After retracting the pistons, insert the pads and readjust the pistons in to create some drag on the rotor. This adjusts the pedal feel or height. If its not adjusted up far enough, your pedal will feel low when braking.

I'm having trouble compressing the piston on the inside of the caliber so I can slide in the new pad. Fronts were no trouble...for the rear outer pads I opened that bleeder on the side of the caliber and then I could compress that piston and put the new pad in but the inner ones won't budge. Is there another bleeder on the inside that I'm missing, (meaning other than the obvious one on the top) or does it have something to do with the E-Brake putting tension on the inside piston. Any help would be great, thank you.
