thanks for pix and yes, from those posted install appears correct. Looks like small space b/w spring and pad retaining pin which there should not be as previously reviewed. Anywho...

Thus back to pad size specs and "ears".

Anecdotally, apologies I had forgotten about as was ~ 2 years ago but pads were either Centric or Powerstop. Regardless, had issue doing brakes on my truck. 7 of 8 pads were easy peasy. The 8th (well was to be 5th - LOL - until I just grabbed the other to hurry up and finish that corner) wouldn't go into outside of FR caliper for life of me. Then wouldn't go into FL either. Past sunset on a weeknight evening so assumed "operator error" rushing to get job done. Just needs another hit w wire brush, brake cleaner and another gob of caliper grease and it'll slip right in, correct? Nope - but diligently kept up this routine for about 25-30 min. Finally, grabbed my digital calipers and sure enough mounting ears on this pad were a smidge too wide. Gahhhh!! Quick cleanup w a metal file and bingo finally slipped right in.

So, will be curious as to how this set measures out against new inbound front set. Keep us posted!

Good luck
