Please HELP!!!! Savage brake issue

[Nitrosav:13]

What's up everyone! New to the forum but couldn't find a post on this issue. I have a problem with my brake rod works its way out, the brass piston doesn't lock it in place. The rod looks ok the brass piston looks ok but when I brake I can pull the rod out by hand. The screw holes are not stripped and calipers are good. Any suggestions.

Is the brass piston positioned inside the cut out region of the rod? Fairly certain that is all that holds it inside the transmission case.

Glad you got it. Might be a good idea for you to take a little time to read through the exploded view for your truck. Besides literally taking it apart, it's the best way to learn how everything goes together.

I've had that tiny edge break off my brake rod before. Then it didn't matter what I did, the rod would just vibrate out.
