Does anyone have a picture of how these are installed. My manual was the victim of my wife "cleaning" my office. It's the little zig-zag thing. A set came with my new pads and I'm not smart enough to figure out how they are installed. The original setup from the PO didn't use them.

Go to u tube for a great vid of this. Just use f250 or f350 front brake job as the search.

Thanks all!

I went and picked some up tonight and it makes a lot more sense when you're holding it in your hand. I put the pads/rotors in a year ago and they have about 2K miles on them. I noticed one pad has backed out a little and there's a sizable lip wearing around the edge of the rotor now.

So more pads and pins *with* retainers this time......


Thanks again!

That's a high steer setup, used to move the steering linkage up and out of the way and also fix the angle to reduce bump steer and wear, mostly used on rock climbers so there not smashing the steering linkage.
