i see. it's not that hard. just have your buddy hold the brake pads in while you put the caliper on. you can let go of the brake pads once the caliper piston is over the pads. or you can use a c-clamp to hold the pads in if you're by yourself.

putting them in the caliper isnt the problem its the little springs, does anybody else have these springs in theres? the springs pop into the pads but keep popping out before you can get the pads into place

put your pads in, then put the top spring on, slide caliper down to cover it, put spring 2 on the bottom and waa laa.
