dumb brake pad question
03 f350 4x4. New front calipers and pads.
Wondering if there's a 'trick' to getting the front brake pads into the caliper . Those damn springs kept popping out. I'd get three of the four ends into place in the pad holes then one would pop out while I'm trying to get the fourth in. After about a hour of trying every different way that I could think of, another set of hands came by and with four hands holding things in place, it finally did the trick.
Is there a new way of getting those things in alone? Guessing I'm probably missing something stupid but I've done these alone before without too much trouble.
