Smile Inner clip for holding the pad, bend outter tangs

DangerousDoug Doug There is a clip for the inner pad that goes into the piston cup to hold it. You can see from Bob's picture about what to do with the outter pad. I also reccoemnd that you go to a parts store and get a small bottle of anti squeal from peramtex. It comes in red or blue in color. You want to add a thin coat to both pads where they mount or have contact to the piston. This will stop all pad ticking noises. For the spindle you want to get a very thin coat of high temp silicone grease for where the backing plates of the pads will rub on the spindle tabs when being applied. top and bottom. Don't get either of these fluids on the brake pad surface. The other key thing is to breakin the pads CORRECTLY. Do 3-5 heat cycles and let the pads cool off. Do this about 5 times for the best performance out of your brakes. If you don't they can glaze or burn the pads, glaze the rotor surfaces and your stopping distance will extend more than what you want. Rick L.
