ok i took one of my rear brakes off, actually my uncle did, and I didn't see exactly how he did it. Now im ready to put the brake pads on and its like a friggin puzzle from hell. I cant figure out how to put it all back together. Its mainly the two removable metal clips inside the rotor, im not sure how to position them so i can use them to put the brake pads in. does anyone know of a tutorial or guide or something that could help me out? thanks

ok, i got an idea. ill just leave on of the metal clips out. the brake pad fits pretty snug without it anyway. ill put some brake quite stuff on it to hold it in and should be good to go.

um, those metal clips that are supposed to be on the top & bottom sides of the caliper?

those 'pad retainers' help "slide" the pads on/off the rotor...

hope u don't overheat the pads/rotor/seize the caliper/sliding pins or what not... making the do-over job more expensive...
