S00TY

Right, Ive managed to get my brakes up and running now i.e relasing fully and not sticking on and overheating and I was hoping that that was over and done with, However tonight I have just had 2 new front tyres fitted and noticed when the tyre fitter removed the o/s wheel both the little spring clips that sit under the t peice of the pads had gone which can then allow the pads to move arround a little. Now my question is, is there some secret way of putting these clips on as I thought I had put them on rightby jamming them in between the pad t peice and the calliper slide but i guess not as they seem to have dissapered!! What I need is to see a picture of how to put the springs in place so if any one has one lieing arround and is good at uploading then please show me before I start to hate my zx :rolleyes: :angry: Hope some one can help Ta S00TY

Hi I have just come across this forum so I'm hoping someone with more brains than me will be able to help.. I inherited a zx 1.9 diesel witch I use to get to and from work but a couple fo weeks ago noticed that the front n/s wheel was screaming so later on i had a look and found that both pads and disks needed changing which i duely did. Now this is where it starts to go down hill a little, once it was all put back together i went for a little test drive and all was well but the next time i used it for work which is about 10 miles away the n/s brake was hanging on and the wheel was hot and stunk of burning pads. Now my question is the 2 bolts that keep the calliper on which allow the calliper to slide do they need to be very tight or do you slacken them enough to allow the calliper to move freely but keep them tight with something like lok tight. Hope someone can help as it's starting to drive me nuts!! :rolleyes:
