I would like to replace my front brake pads, but I have not been able to get information on how this particular clip goes on. I am fine with the rear. The ones for the front I have never seen before. For reference in answering this question look at Raybestos model H5780A.

Some of those clips can be tough. Here is a guide and some diagrams (below) to help you get the job done.

Thanks for your response. The information that you sent was great the problem is that all of it was for the rear brake pad installation which I am very familiar with. I have attached a picture of the clips that I need installation instructions for. Once again thanks for your help and timely response.

Those clips look different then the ones in the picture from the manual do they look the same as the ones that came off?

Can you send pictures?

You can see where the clips go face up and push them into the cradle of where the pad sits. Install the clips and pads and then take a picture for me so I can see if you got them in correctly.
