I changed my wife's front rotors and brakes last night. If I had the right tools the job would have went much faster. Anyway, I saw in someones write up that they left the thin aluminum plates which were on the OEM pads (fit on outside of pads and facing the caliper on both sides) off on the re-install of new pads. Were these meant to be left off? They did not fit as tight as on the original OEM pads but I put them on with my new pads. Does it matter? I test drove the car and she seemed perfect. The caliper was a bit snug going over the plates but it fit.
