    The caliper is supposed to be pressed onto the caliper by the ears of the pads.

    Help! Brake shoe install

    I have recently purchased a 4 wheel disc brake kit for my 1978 El Camino. Everything installed smoothly, but the brake shoe is loose in the caliper. The caliper is installed on the rotor. I understand you are supposed to squeeze the shoes with channel-lock pliers, but I have tried and it won't...
