teejay Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 id be takng it straight back to the person who did the work on the brakes Quote
Marcus01 Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 The clip is a warning of low pad and should be on the inside face of the disc. Take it back, once it's corrected look for a different garage for your work. Quote

ZMANALEX Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 The low warning metal clip should be fixed firmly to the pad, usually by rivets. The damage is done so just bend it out the way with a large screw driver. Never ever seen this before and I've changed thousands of sets of pads. Drive carefully on way back to garage and read the riot act once there. The pad with the warning device should also be on the inside pad. Shocking level of service. Quote
