Hi, this question is about the floating caliper. How does the spring hold the inboard brake shoe on to the piston? And how is it assembled?
I don't understand the concept of the spring. It is supposed to hold the inboard brake shoe to the piston but I can't seem to visualize how it works.
Thanks for your time

keeps the pads from moving. the moving is what gives you brake squeel.
