Hey im trying to put my front pads on and i know the inside pad stays on by putting the rods with the holes but how does the outside pad(pad near against the piston) get "hooked" in. It looks like you kinda just leave it there but that cant be right.
Nevermind, figured it out.
Pics?
I see you got the solution.
I'm confused about what you were confused....
Ow...
What's happening?
Wildbill's my hero...someone who can figure the simple shaZam! out by looking at it...or reading it online and not mentioning it.
I'm just wondering where the wires got crossed.....
hah, yeah it kinda just "rests" in the caliper housing. Theres a a tab at each end the one pad kinda hooks under and the spring provides pressure against it. I just dont like the idea of how it kinda just hangs out in there lol. Doesn't seem too secure for a brake part but hey suzuki must think its safe.
Well, the did change it to a design that hooks the other pad in a hole as well, but I have never heard of a pad falling out once it was seated properly. (The pistons just don't move apart enough to let the pad slide out in normal operation.)
Getting it seated properly may be tricky, though.
