Have just purchased a second hand set of 8 pots discs/blue pads, started to give them a good clean up today and noticed that there is 'R' clip pushed onto one of the cooling fins on the vents? thought this might be a fluke loose clip from somewhere that simply got wedged there but having inspected the second rotor, have found one on there to? wtf is this for?? can't see any reason for it or what it can possibly be doing but thought it 'weird' each rotor's got one?

Hi there

Can you take the picture of the rotors,not sure if you mean what I'm meaning

Thanks,Jura

No idea what it's for but I've seen the same on several sets of AP rotors before so I don't think it's a case of something just been pushed on there for fun by someone. No help on why though...

pic 1, the clip. pic 2, half inserted. pic 3, fully inserted and how i found it, there's no obvious reason why its there or even in this particular place on the disc as its not any different which fin its on?? the other rotor's the same.

The disc's have had there day to be honest, but just wanted to get the brakes on the car so i can bleed them and move the car.

Looks like it just got wedged there and it might be a pad retaining clip maybe.

Thanks Ian, a man who knows! also, do i need to bleed the brakes on both sides of the caliper as its got 2 bleed nipples per caliper?

Yes you have to bleed both halves of the calipers

Thanks again Ian.
