• How To Install Disc Brake Anti Rattle Clips

Dorman Products - HW5412: Disc Brake Anti-Rattle Clip. Our Disc Brake Anti-Rattle Clip is constructed from high-quality materials for a prolonged service life. Replacement restores the disc brakes to proper operation, helping to ensure road safety. Remove the anti-squeal shims and the pad wear indicator plates from each pad. Remove the two front disc brake pad support plates from the cylinder mounting. Remove the front disc brake cylinder mounting by removing the two bolts. Install the new disc brake cylinder mounting with the two bolts. It's a good idea to use some type of slippery lubricant on the rubbers in the caliper, and ends of the pins to aid in the installation. Install the 'spring' onto the pin, and the face of the caliper. Go to the next pin, and install that pin while holding the spring in place to get the pin through the mounting hole in the front pad.

• Hello, new guy here. Love the Youtube videos.
  Vehicle: 2012 Kia Optima SX 2.0 Turbo. Found out these use a larger brakes than the standard non-turbo cars.
  Last year I replaced the front disc brake pads with Raybestos ceramic pads and when I did this I also installed the new stainless steel abutment clips?
  Where they bridge from one side to the other the clip would rub the top of the caliper. I’m not sure if I messed something about installing these?
  The clearance is really tight and I thought it was just the rust and crud built up on the edge of the original rotor, so I trimed the clip to clear the rotor.

  Knowing the brakes rotors were worn and rusty, and wanting to upgrade the brakes, I ordered up the “Power Stop” Z23 brake kit.
  They have the entire rear brake kit with drilled/slotted rotors, pads, and hardware kit, but only the pad and hardware for the front (for this car.)
  Just to clearify, they do have a complete front brake kit, but only for the non-turbo car brakes. I think they are about 1/2 smaller in diameter?
  Anyhow, I found some drilled/slotted front rotors from “Stop Tech” which are the same size as the original rotors, just drilled/slotted?
  I installed these new brakes today and ran into the same issue (front brakes only) with the stainless steel spring clips. Abutment clip? Not sure if that is the correct term?
  It was getting late, so I re-used the modified clips I already had.

  So the question is how do I get the new clips to work? Or is this one of those deals where the aftermarket part just does not fit like the stock part?

  Thank you in advance.

  Jim G.

• Compare your old clips to the new. Sounds like the wrong clips.

  I had the same issue on mine. Fortunately I was able to wire brush the caliper bracket to make braking worthwhile. Questions, did you put the clips in their respective places? And also, if you had to stop on a dime, could you? Rhetorical.
