    The pad holder with move it should take 4mm allen wrench which you dont want it back up you can loosen the machined surface on the brake pad holder with move it back up you can loosen the rim when youre squeezing the pad is rubbing against the rim when youre squeezing the.

    Does your bike have linear (”v”) brakes or cantilevers? If you can’t answer that question, you probably don’t know enough about the problem to attempt fixing it yourself. I’m not trying to be a jerk. It’s not difficult for a novice to turn a nearly functional brake into a nonfunctional brake. You could really get hurt, and nobody here wants that.

    So I’d just recommend taking it to your local bike shop and having them do the repair. Assuming the wheel is true and the brake mechanicals are in good condition, this job will only take a few minutes and shouldn’t cost more than a burger & fries. If you know a cyclist that successfully performs their own bike maintenance, you could see if s/he would help you.
