Hey. I tried to change my front pads and discs today. Everything was going fine until I tried to put the new pads in. The pads are brembos ones so should fit fine. The outer pad fits in perfectly and moves with the calliper but the inside pad seems like it's too big. This is the actual metal frame on the pad, it just seems too long so it's such a tight squeeze to get it in the right place. When it's in it doesn't sit all the way back against the Pistons so when all bolt up the wheels are too tight against it to turn. The problem seems to be the little silver clips that are in the actual calliper. They are held in with a small Allan head bolt. I think they are there to stop the pad from moving up and down too much. But with my pads they just seem to be in the way. Are you meant to remove these with some pads? All it would need would be for the pad to be maybe 2mm shorter for it to fit perfectly. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks.
