  • Perhaps you should try looking on sram.com where the juicy 3 manual is with instructions and a picture showing how the pads go back in.

  • Hi buddy,

    Pads go in with the handle nearest to bar (if that makes sense!), Clip goes in afterwards - make sure you put the clip in so that the bridge/hinge aligns with the hole in the caliper (ease of removal next time)

    good luck!

    Clip goes between the pads. Make a "sandwich" with the pads and the clip (the join between the two halves goes between the two bits sticking out on the top of the pad). Push the whole lot in until you hear a click. The pad with the R on it goes on the wheel side of the caliper. Push both pads hard once they're both in to make sure they're seated correctly. Wiggle a tyre lever in between them to push the pistons back and make putting the wheel back on easier.

    The clip goes in FIRST. How else do you get it in there? Read chedabob's description.
