Does anyone know if the caliper pad guides (not sure of the exact name so see below picture) have a part #? Are they part of the caliper rebuild kit? I looked in the shop manual and it does no illustrate these as removable, though clearly they are.

I have posted a couple of pictures to illustrate my problem. As you can see one of the guides has broken on my rear caliper (there are four guides, one on each inner corner of the caliper, I am holding the broken piece). I discovered the broken guide lodged between the caliper and the splash shield. But wait, there’s more! The reason for inspecting the caliper for issues was because I had lost both of the brake pad retaining pins and spring clip during a track day. I came in the pits hearing a strange clanking noise; the noise was the pads jumping around due to the lack of any kind of retention device. I think the resulting extreme amount of vibration caused the damage to the pad, only one failed pad and it was positioned where the broken guide once lived.

Here I am holding the broken guide

You can see they are removable, but are they obtainable?

This is the destroyed pad located where the broken quide pin was.

 

Email with part number, links and parts illustration sent!

 

Thanks for looking into this! But the part you reference is not what I need. If you could please take another look, I have circled the part I need. There are four of these tabs on each caliper. One of mine is broken; I am holding the broken piece in the picture above. These tabs are not represented in the diagram you provided or in my service manual.

 

Did you get my email yesterday?

 

Hey sorry for bumping such an old thread but I might be needing one of those parts as well. RussellM could you please pm me or email (tw3037@gmail.com) me that part number and diagram if you have?

Thanks very much!
