Brakes Wheels 1st Gen Tires Clicking sound from rear (brakes)

It is not that the clips are bad it is that the clips on the back of the inboard pad are not clipped over the caliper piston.

 

Well I'll see about doing myself this weekend...wouldn't I need the tool to push the piston in? Or no?

 

No the piston only needs to go in when you are replacing worn out pads.

Look at post #33 to see a good picture of what I think is the problem.

Yeah that's got to be it...I'm thinking it may be a side clip, not tge top.
