Brake caliper pin clip

Recommended Posts

Hello all

 

Changed my pads a few weeks ago and all was fine.

 

Went to have a check of them today and noticed the little k clip that goes through the pin that holds the pads and rattle plate on has fallen out. Its only 1 k clip on the rear passanger side that has fallen out.

 

Nissan can get me 1 but it will take a week and they want £18 for just 1 :( the part number is 41217A

 

What I would like to know is do you think its ok to drive for the next week or not or what i could put in the little hole in the mean time.

 

Thanks

My dad changed my front discs and pads at the weekend and looks like the last time they were changed they lost/broke two of them. And there was split pins in their place

 

Just use a split pin, cut it down (so its not overly massive) and fold it over and around.
