    Hey everyone. I took off my front calipers off yesterday and rebuilt them. When I went to install the pads I came across the set screw on the side of the caliper. My assumption is it should go through the hole in the top of the pads? Nothing in the manual about this. I want to make sure this right, don't want the front wheel mto lock up and such. Thanks. Jaimie

    The screw actually holds the pad ANTI-RATTLE SPRING (above the pads) in place.

    Ive tried putting that screw above the anti rattle , below the AR spring and through the hole of the pad. The last way is the only way everything lines square. Any other way is canter levered. It seems to me the static pad should be flush with the caliper and not on an angle. So please tell which is right. Thanks Jaimie
