I am changing the front pads on my car for the first time. No issues until reassembly...how the heck to you get the spring clips back in place. I have tried sliding the pins through, and have tried hammering the clips on after sliding pins through. I assume there is a trick that I am missing, but this is new to me.

any help is appreciated....thanks

Figured it out...user error...had the clips pointed the wrong direction.

Hopefully by "hammering them" in, you didn't damage them. Also, you should use brake grease on them.
