Had a hard time seating new brake pads
I put in the new metal sheet metal things, and lubed the pad ears, and it was a real hassle to get the pads to seat in the notches. Is this normal? I had to jam the metal sheets with a screwdriver to make they were fully seated into the notch. Even still, the pads did not just slip into place easily.

I resorted to cleaning up the original OEM clips which showed no wear and reusing them. The new pads went in easily then. Damn aftermarket crap! |
