Brake clips not Flush with Caliper

gmonkey98 · Jan 26, 2022

Hi, I am doing the brakes on my 2012 Cruze LT. I am working on the left rear brake. When I try to install the metal caliper clips, they don't seem to be flush with the caliper. Not sure if this is correct or if I should return the clips and get new ones. I will include pictures below. If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

A part number would be useful. If you're in a hurry you can reuse the old ones.

The rear pads, which came with the clips, are part # DE1468

Not sure how else they can go in, can you give any more detail on what you did?

Once you get a brake pad in there things should compress.
