4 sets pads and one new rotor on the '86 today...

Bent the pins, broke the springs, and trashed the little pin clips on the Girlings up front. AutoZone offered me 2 options - "hardware kit" and "caliper pins". I got 'em both. A "hardware kit" contains 4 anti-rattle springs and 4 little clips. 2 "caliper pins" have a total of 4 pins and, you guessed it, 4 clips. So I guess I now have 4 spare clips until next time. That is, if I can find 'em next time I need 'em :)

On the ATE rears, I could not for the life of me remember how I seated the pins last time. I couldn't find a good way at 'em. Here's a little trick I developed:

There is an attachment to the caliper that lives aft of the caliper itself. This becomes the fulcrum for the 1/2" cold chisel I had handy. I set the chisel edge against the pin, and used a hammer on the far end of the chisel, pounding inward (that is, towards the diff). Seated those little buggers like a charm!

Anybody got a better plan I can use for next time - or is that as good as it gets?
