  • Front brake caliper question

    Hi all!

    I've received brake guides/sliders as mine were looking worse for wear. Could someone indicate which guide hole the pin with the rubber should go into to? PFA
    Thanks

            Take the old ones out see what one it is, fit the new one in its place.

            Not rocket science

              I'm glad it's not rocket science. But on both sides they're in different positions. Wondering if that's by design, or if someone put them back incorrectly on a side.

                Is the brakes working ok at the moment?
                If they are, then everything is in the proper position.

                I know your fears as it's brakes, but have a look the current positions, if all.is well with the brakes, then refit the new parts.

                  If I remember when I did mine, they were the lower ones both sides but I have to mention my memory isn't the best
