Hi,

I have changed the rear pads on a cavalier caliper, I got the pins out and there is a spring type clip which pushes on the pads and is hooked around the pins, this was corroded badly and on the one side the springs snapped in half as it was removed.

What does this spring clip do? and where would I get a new one from? motor factors? tried ebay but there doesnt appear to be any on there.
