I replaced my driver's side axle shaft today and as I was putting the new one back in I noticed this piece on the carpet under the hub. I didn't remove it from the broken shaft, so it must have fallen out while switching the shafts. No clue where it goes...

I also have the Vanco big brake kit and had to remove the caliper and rotor mount, but again, can't see where it would go there either.


Any ideas????

Open the box of brake pads, if you have not done so already. My calipers came with one set of the metal sliders (that the brake pad backing plate rubs against) already installed in one of the calipers. If yours is this way, take the other set of sliders and install them in the remaining caliper using the assembled one as a reference. Push the pads into position in the caliper.

It is time to slide the caliper into position and bolt it to the mounting bracket. The two bolts that you loosened before will be used to secure the caliper into position. They both have a round spacer (circled in yellow in the above photo) that must be in position when you slide the caliper over the rotor. Be sure the threads in the mounting holes on the caliper are clean and likewise, the threads on the bolts.
