Having just fitted new pads and discs, the haynes manuel says make sure that the pad retaining spring (about 5" long with loop at each end, fits two holes on the caliper) should be in firm contact with the pad...
is this correct,
there is no evidence of it having touched the old pads, and it will need slight bending to touch the back of the new pads.
It seems more suitable that it pulls the floating caliper towards the mounting block without touching the pad...
does it make much difference?
thanks in advance,
Paul
