This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good day all. I recently changed my discs and pads, and with that fitted new pads shims. The pads just would not stay on to the shims. I am hoping that once the brake fluid system is pressurised it will exert enough force to make the adhesive take? Can anyone confirm of the adhesive backing on the shims is "weak"?

POST 2Original post

When I replaced mine, I found the reverse as in the adhesive was really strong. I had put the shims in the caliper, peeled off the paper backing and the brake pad stuck going in even though it was only touching a little bit at the top.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
