usually the metal clips are anti-rattle clips to keep the brake pads from chattering in the caliper when braking, they also act as retainers for the pads
i replaced brake pads on vw golf and did not put the clips on the brake pads is it save?
Remove the wheel from your 2005 Kia Sorrento. Remove the brake pad springs and retaining clips. Reverse the process to install the new brake pads.
From the inside of the hatch area uncover the light fixtures. The lamp carrier is held in place by plastic clips. Depress the clips to remove the lamp carrier. Replace the lamps as required and replace the carrier in the fixture. Check your work.
Remove lower caliper bolt (actually the upper one is a pin), lift the caliper, replace pads. The clips and the bracket might however need some cleaning.
The third brake light is 2 little clips to pop off the outside cover and two screws to remove, pull out bulb and replace. In the tail lights, the inside has pop out panels to acess bulbs and speakers, pop out three bulb holder and replace blown bulb.
Simply raise the rear hatch of the vehicle, grab the panel that clips into the metal section of the hatch and carefully but firmly pull it towards you. This will give you direst access to the assembly. Then remove the two Philips head screws that hold the rear brake light assembly in and carefully pull it out. Then turn the two black rubber light bulb holders a quarter turn and pull them out of the assembly. Replace the two bulbs that will cost you about $4.00 and reassemble in reverse order. This will take less than ten minutes.
the sensor is in the brake pad itself, it clips in top of brake pad
GET A KNIFE AND CUT IT OFF
Remove the hoses and clips , replace the hoses and clips!
Ensure the anti rattle clips/springs are attached to the brake pad or it will rattle. Some cheap pads do not vome with these clips/springs.
Remove the two pins going through the pads. Pull out the old pads, push in the piston and install new pads, replace pins with the clips.
I am a true blonde....... the item that holds the brake pad is to tight. Did you change the rotors too? did you lube the sliders? if the caliper is sticking you may need to replace more parts Also if it has the stainless steel clips that the pads rest in there could be a rust build up or dirt under the clips, remove the clips and wirewheel under there, Also i grind or file the new pads slightly where they sit in the clips to make sure they move freely so you dont have any brake drag. Hope this is of some use.
