Is it just me or are the FD rear calipers a pain compared to most other vehicles? Particularly the v shaped spring clip. Both of mine pretty much shot out when I went to replace pads, and I am unsure how exactly they go back in. if anyone has a picture or can explain where they go and the best method of installation, it would be a big help! I feel like a total idiot as I've swapped dozens of engines, (conventional, this is my first rotary) rebuilt and done port work etc. and now these rear brakes are what kicks my ***!

You have to screw the rear piston back in.
Best to buy the 3/8" drive square cube brake tool.

buh, I hate that tool. matco (and I'm sure others too) have another specific tool for doing rear brakes that compresses and turns the piston at the same time so you don't slip off and bust knuckles like you do with the cube
