rear brake pad problem.
rear brake pad problem.
Are there brake shims that clip onto the pads and then clip the pads onto the rear caliper? (my FSM shows that there are shims and I can't make the pads clip in they way they are) I went to Autozone and Advance Auto and they both gave me blank stares when I asked for brake pad shims. I have the retainers. Am I retarded I can't figure out my rear brake pad install? I did my timing chain and replaced a cam and I can't even figure out brake pads. Sad, sad, sad.
yes, there are retainers. ask for a brake hardware kit at advance. autozone says they dont carry them. dude at advance didn't know either, i had to give a part number from their website. they have them for $14 but will more than likely have to order. i got a rear set from the dealer for $20.

Yeah...I ordered them for my s14 as well...i had to get them from a dealer...I totally forgot which one, but there should be a nico sponser from texas that's got them for about 50 dollars for the front and rear...but i wouldnt buy the...er...i think it's the rears that didnt fit...anyway, i dont think those shims make much difference...i only had one piece though, not the 3 like the shop manual has...

i have replaced both 213 and s14 rears and have never used shims. in the brake hardware kit i got fromthe nissan dealership there were retainers and some other plate looking things, but i dont see how how they would fit onto the back of a pad. i have always just used the retainers and have never had any noise or performance issues.
