Well Jack is close but the slot has to be vertical to adjust out the wear in the pads and lock the inner and outer pistons together. Rotating 45 degrees releases the pistons and defeats the emergency brake. It is only drum brakes that self adjust by applying while backing. The Pantera dsics will self adjust any time they are applied regardless of direction or even when standing still as long as the slot is vertical or horizontal.
