Brake Pad Clips Not Holding Brake Pads in Caliper Piston
Updated 12/05/2024 | Published 08/02/2016
Question:
I am having trouble with the brake pad staying clipped inside the piston. It does not click in and just falls back out.

Expert Reply:
It is possible that the clip on the back of the brake pad, such as those on set # K225CP, got a little bent out of shape. You should be able to bend it some so the clip has to compress to fit in the piston. I recently had to do that in a similar situation.

Can you explain or show how the clip is supposed to fit in the position. All 4 of mine will not clip into the piston.

I'm having the same issue. I have the 225 caliper, and in inner pad won't clip in.
