    Help needed !
    When I had all the problems with my front brakes, neglected to replace the pad spring into the caliper, and has been sat on my bench to be refitted. Now tried to refit and it seems to be interfering with the disk ???? Looked at microfiche on web and can't see how I have fitted it wrong, but seems to be noisy. Had it back off and can't see why, but does seem to rub on the outer edge of the disk.

    Is there any nice person want to go out and pull their front caliper off and take a picture ? Or someone can tell me which way round it goes?

    I think Dilligaf has nailed it with his pictures.

    I had the buggers off and on so many times trying to get it sorted, I gave up putting it in cos it just fell out again. Fast forward a month and didn't have a bloody clue how to!!!
    Understand now, thanks @dilligaf, your a star. Easy when you search a picture, forgot 1/2 was 'outside' the caliper body. Do'h. :oops:
    Will go and refit properly now.

    Best forum on the net. :D

    Sorted now, done so many times, that I can take caliper off, shoes out & in, caliper on in under 3 minutes.!!!! :D

    If you did just take yours off @dilligaf, just for me, thanks a lot pal, really appreciate your time and effort to help me out.

    I owe you a pint;)



    P. S. Wee bit of red rubber grease on your pistons will stop any corrosion from getting hold
