replacing the break pads on my capri
« on: August 15, 2009, 09:51:00 AM »

For the life of me I cant figure out how the little metal clips go on the callipers on my 91 capri. They came with the break pads and Im not exactly sure where to put them. when we got the car it didnt have callipers on it so i couldnt see from that. I thought I had it right but then they were grinding aginst the rotors. can some one help me please?

well thanks but i actually managed to get the front ones on correctly. The rear have different little pad retainer clips and i cant figure out where to put them. my buddys girlfriend drives a capri though so were going to take the wheel off and look at it. that should help out.
