If you want to re-use the old clips, it is probably a good idea to reproduce the adhesive effect of the originals. I used this old tube of Permatex Ultra-copper High Temp Silicone Gasket compound - just smear a thin layer where the old stuff was. I did this one out of the caliper to make the photo, but it is then a little tricky to get them back into place without getting adhesive on the rotor or caliper. A little won't hurt anything, but an alternative (and what I usually do) is to put a little of the goo on a gloved finger tip and apply it with the anti-rattle clip already in place. I guess it depends on whether you have skinny fingers...... If you're installing race pads, they are going to squeak whatever you do. You can leave the anti-rattle clips out entirely. The noise on the street is deafening - but on the track, who cares? If you need to drive with the pads on the street, the anti-rattle clips DO help. I managed to get about 300 miles on the race pads after running them on the track before the started to squeak. Step 10 - Install Pads, Pad Retaining Spring, Pad Retaining Spring Retaining Pin Assembly is pretty much the reverse of the steps you already did. Note the orientation of the pad retaining spring so that the strain relief clip for the low pad sensor wires is toward the bottom. You will have to hold it down to get the pin in. Remember to align the pin so that the hole for the little clip is facing out.
