ok guys, having a problem. changing brakes, but ive got 2 little springs that poke into pads and push pads apart, having a bitch of a time getting pads back into caliper without springs popping out, any tips? this is driving me and my buddy helping me absolutly crazy.

i see. it's not that hard. just have your buddy hold the brake pads in while you put the caliper on. you can let go of the brake pads once the caliper piston is over the pads. or you can use a c-clamp to hold the pads in if you're by yourself.

putting them in the caliper isnt the problem its the little springs, does anybody else have these springs in theres? the springs pop into the pads but keep popping out before you can get the pads into place

put your pads in, then put the top spring on, slide caliper down to cover it, put spring 2 on the bottom and waa laa.

yaaa im an idiot, i dont wanna explain what i was doing but thanks for the help guys haha
