    Hi guys,

    Yesterday I started changing the front brake pads, but when I took the caliper down a small metal clip came loose.

    I just can’t find were does it go, can someone give me a hand or send a picture PLEASE

    Thanks

    Scoopy; sounds like the anti-rattle clip. There is one each, on the inside pad, down at the bottom tab. If you remove the other wheel, look at the inside pad of the caliper, it is there. If you don't use it, the pads will rattle like crazy, and if the rotor is out of round a bit, it gets worse. Hope this helps.

    It is the anti-rattle clip, but just cant find were does it go, I took apart both front brakes and the clip just jumped off.

    I know It was very dumb of me taking apart the other brake without looking were the clip goes.

    A picture would help me a lot, I sat down for 2 hours and just couldn’t find were the #$%&$# clip goes.

    Thanks guys.
