Anyone? I really need help before it gets too dark

hey make sure you turn back the piston so you have room for your rotor between the brake pads. Gotta turn in clock wise but hold the gasket around it cause it might start to break

took me the longest time to figure that out when i was doin my brakes haha.

by plates do you mean shims, anti-squeal plates, or the pad backing?

[240Knightrider]

i think he means the shims

you should get new ones by now...lol they are hard to source from anyone else except the dealer. But its best to take the whole caliper off and turn it upside down. The clips stay in, and all you gotta do is angle the pad in from one side and turn back upright to hold for the other pad.

I hope you understand. Im not sure i would if i read this either.
