Hey all just rebuilt and painted my kx250 brake calipers
Now i put the brake pad springs in the calipers and the pads , but the springs seem to be pointless?
As the pads are just rattling about , what is the point in these and has anybody got a picture of the front and rear springs and how the fit properly please
-
Nobody knows what they are for then hey?
-
did you not think of posting pics of what you're referring too for us to understand you better??
I'm assuming you're talking about the rattle clips??
all it takes is 2 seconds of searching on youtube to find an answer...

Patience is a virtue, hey!! :-o

Yeah but in the manual they are called brake pad springs not rattle clips hence i could not find anything , and the video still does not really state how its best to fit them and not the rear either
-
about the 5:30 mark he starts to show how they go in for the fronts...
as I said...just do a couple seconds of searching on youtube...there's all kinds of "brake installation" stuff in there...not to be an a$$hole, but I'm not gonna do the work for ya.
Sometimes Sandblaster has some really good pictorials...maybe he's got something he can post.
