N DESPERATE NEED OF THE SILVER CLIP THAT SITS ON TOP OF THE CALIPER THAT HOLDS THE PADS IN PLACE REVENTING THEM FROM FALLING OUT. PLEASE HELP DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW CALIPER JUST TO GET A CLIP.
They come with the pads. Just buy some new pads.
after fixing your brakes you might want to try to find the CAPS LOCK button 😉
That's not the retaining clip. Thats the pad spring. Duh.
You mean the thing bottom right (underneath the pad spring)?

You don't need the clip.
How do the pads stay in without it?
I've never seen the point of the clip, it doesn't seem to do anything. I reckon you'll be fine without it.
The pin in the piston locks into the pad and the spring provides the tension to keep the pad on the pin.
Oh, gotcha - Avid pads always have a little hole in the back. Getting this Fudge?
you don't need it. Why remove it anyway?
Getting this Fudge?
If that is not a slogan on a T-Shirt someday i will be very disappointed.
