That's correct but it doesn't appear to be clipped in. Just get those tabs through the holes in the back of the caliper. That is the metal spring clip that keeps the brake pads in place so they don't rattle around
This is correct, just wanted to add, you may feel some resistance when installing the brake pads, this is normal
Thank you both any tips on how to bleed lines?
Locate the bleeder valve on the caliper. Open it, have someone press the brake pedal, close the bleeder, have them release the brake pedal. Repeat until only fluid comes out. Make sure they don't release the pedal even a little while the bleeder valve is open
Wow you all are helpful. It may have taken all day but its been a success.
have you ever done brake work before?
