Hi there Folks,
I'm doing front rotors and pads on my 2003 TrailBlazer EXT this weekend. Background is that the pads and rotors were changed by the dealer prior to sale to me about 1.5 years/25000 km ago, but now pulse like an SOB and look like crap.
Had the brakes apart when I did the front hubs a few months back, and the caliper bracket slide clips look pretty rough, and I'm pretty sure that the clip that goes on the caliper is MIA, so I bought a brake hardware kit from the LPS. The calipers seem ok, so they're not being done this time out.
I've attached an image of the parts kit with the various parts numbered. I can identify most of them, but there's two I'm not sure about:
1) These clips go onto the caliper bracket.
2) These clips go onto the calipers.
3) Caliper guide pins.
4) I'm not sure what these are, but my guess is they go on the guide pins somewhere. My vehicle appears to be missing these.
5) Not sure where these go, my vehicle appears to be missing these.
6) For me and my lady's use in the bedroom....erm, for lubing the guide pins.
Can anyone enlighten me regarding items 4) & 5)? Maybe a diagram showing thier installation?
Thanks!
