What is this part?
This may have been asked before. I searched but no answer found. This piece is on all the brembo's on my car and I am changing all the rotors and have already changed the brake pads to the hawk pads but on the front calipers this piece sits loose....it was tighter and didn't move with the stock brake pads. What does it do and it is necessary to leave it on?? I highlighted what I am talking about in red its the brass looking piece. http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps80698536.jpg

Those are commonly referred to as the "roller skates". They are there to reduce the noise created by the stock pads. Since you have after market pads, I'm fairly sure they can be removed.

looks like an anti rattle clip.

Thanks for the help......my husband had them on backwards.....lol Not sure how he put both the fronts on backwards but he got them turned around and they fit perfect.

I change all my pads about 6-8 times each year (swapping between street and track/autocross pads plus cleaning). Should I change out the pins and spring clips? Maybe at least have a set on hand incase something goes awry? What do you suggest? Thanks. |

Thanks Pete. Pins are still nice and tight. I'll get another set though, just in case.
|
I thought with new pads we could remove the "roller skates"? Is that not true?
