get caliper outa da way.
Put on rotor then brackets, put in inner pad, then outer, drop caliper on.
So no, I dont (my meat'n tates is breaks'n exhausts)
AND
yes, once in a great while the metal backing the actual brake material is adhered to is a lill
off shape. Never a problem as I hit it w/the same die grinder on the tool cart I clean up the areas I snap in the lill "squeal clips" into, the pads sit in. One in 50? 30? 70? Tryin to remember, one early this wk, is it one vehicle make? My bet? the cheep stuff at the bottom of a house brand cost list (any vehicle). I usually shoot for mid level or above but customers bring in stuff or ask for the cheep stuff & I comply. All ways get the best ur able.
