Ok guys, bought my brake pads the other day. I have to say, I won't do this again. My father was helping me, and in the process, he bent this stupid thing:
So the clip was SCRAPING against the rotor yesterday and this morning. Finally this evening, I was able to get the wheel off and check it out. I finally realized the thing was bent to all hell and wouldn't stay in place. My question is this: Does this thing HAVE to be replaced?, or can I just leave it out? Help!
