lmdew Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 The top and bottom shims should be there for sure. Someone may have pulled them if the pads were tight. They should have filed the pads instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

987687 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 The pads we get at work never come with shims. You don't need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
