SimonB Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 I changed my UK spec brake pads today and noticed that they were mounted with the pad spacer clip thingy at the top, with the arrow on the anti-squeal shim pointing down. The diagram on mkiv.com seems to show the clip at the bottom, not the top. I suspect that it doesn't matter which way up they are, but does anyone know ? I put the new ones on the same way up as the old ones anyway. Diagram from mkiv.com: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 I thought the arrows were to indicate rotation direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted June 2, 2003 Author Share Posted June 2, 2003 Yeah, that occurred to me too, in which case they should be pointing up. Maybe whoever put the last set on just put 'em in upside down. They seem to work fine though, so I was reluctant to change them round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted June 3, 2003 Author Share Posted June 3, 2003 I usually go for "If it ain't broke, take it to bits, fiddle with it, try and put it back, then break it and say it needed replacing anyway" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
