280zx caliper reassembly and install, how-to help needed


rosso

Recommended Posts

I am having trouble keeping all the pieces together while assembling the calipers and carrier to put on the strut. the pads and little springy clips and carrier just sort of sit loose until the caliper is put down over them to press on the springy clips to hold the pads in place.

 

No matter how I try to put these together something always moves or drops out while trying to assemble. Does anyone have any shortcuts or pointers on how to keep this together. The little springy clips also seem to move around while assembling and once the caliper and carrier are together it's hard to tell if the clips are still in the correct place. Any advice or tips appreciated.

 

I have it together but don't have confidence that it is correct.

i just did this. Anti squeal compound can be used keep those backing plates in place. Upper pad compression spring plates should sandwich into the caliper and hold there.
