Hey everyone got a ? about the brakes/calipers. I just had a brake job done and decided I was going to paint my calipers to dress it up a little. Well I took off the wheels and the front drivers side brakes only have one (retaining clip?) that sort of sticks out off the back of the caliper. I went to check how it was on the passenger side and I had none on that side. So everyone how many of these clips do you have? and how important are they? I am kinda upset that I took it to a garage and they didn't reinstall or replace these especially for the price. I guess next time I am going to do it myself.

 

no one knows? or did I not explain it well enough?

 

Let's start with the year vehicle you have?

 

I'm ASSuMing it's a 4th gen since his SN has a 4.7 in it but I can't be sure.

 

sorry about that ya its a '03 4runner

 

There's two @ pin hole clips on each side before you remove the 2 anti rattle w/hole pins.

You can see some of my crappy photos of doing the front pads here.. http://www.toyota120.com/forum/showt...ght=brake+pads

 

thanks guys well I believe I am just missing the anti rattle clips
