Hey All:
Just completed what I hoped was a successful rear rotor and pad replacement. After bolting back together and taking it around the block, grinding noises could be heard. Determined that when pulling the rotors, I loosened the hold down clips on the parking brake. When I attempted to resecure it, the hold down pin fell out from the dust shield. It is also kind of bent. New p-brake hardware kit contains new pins but for the life of me I can not figure out how to get the pin back in. It seems to need to be behind the dust sheild and protrude into the brake cavity. Do I need to remove the hub to take off the brake sheild to do this? Can the wheel bearing stay in place if I do this? Any suggestions would be really helpful about now.
Thanks
Chris
