Where are the spring clips on a brake pad?
Retaining spring clips are mostly found on the caliper that’s attached to the brake discs. So, identify the clips and detach it from the caliper pins that hold the pads in place. Once that’s done, you’d have to remove the pins from the loop, why? Because the pins pass through the aperture that’s close to the chamfer of the bake pad.
How do you remove the caliper from a car?
If you can’t remove the caliper by hand, then place the end of a flathead screwdriver between the brake rotor and caliper. Pull the screwdriver handle up to lift pry the caliper off of the brake pads. Once you remove the caliper, you’ll see the brake pads held in place by the caliper bracket.
How do you install a new brake caliper?
Otherwise, you may damage your brake system. Attach the new caliper to the bracket so it fits around the brake pads. Position the caliper so the side with the piston is on the backside of the brake rotor. Set the caliper over the brake pad assembly and slide the bolts through the holes on the top and bottom.
How do you put a retaining clip on a brake disc?
Use the appropriate wrench to remove the lug nuts from the rails first. Ensure that you remove all the nuts also. Once you’re done, remove the wheels from the brake disc. You can even use your steering to position the caliper and the disc to the appropriate position.
