markymark Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'm just trying to fit new brakepads on the rear axel. I have taken the old ones off but two of the new pads have a spring shaped clip that is already attached, but it isn't attached on the old brake pads that I am removing. Can anyone tell me what they are for or if they are required for specific sides? I have nothing visible that is showing that they are needed? Sorry - don't have the time to do a search as the car is surrounded by tools etc... outside. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboBrett Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 changed my rear pads 2 days ago, on the OLD ones one did and one didnt have the little clip things on each side but all 4 NEW ones did, i just fitted the all facing to the rear, if you lay the new pads on the floor face down you should see 2 sets of 2 different shaps you need one of each on each side i think they fit with the clips either way on but i like things to be the same i think thats what your asking:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboBrett Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 i just re read your post an realised i cant read:( on the old pads none had clips so on the new pads 2 have clips and 2 dont you want one with a clip and one witout a clip on each side;) mine came on with the pads without a clip was on the inside of the brake disk, ones with a clip on the outside ( closest to you as you look at it):d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
