GXL rear brakes
Does anyone by change have pictures of their rear brakes?
I am rebuilding all 4 of mine, and I'm starting out with the rears, and I got pads, rotors, and hardware kit. but the 2 problems I have are...
1: Spring is missing, so I am not sure where the springs go
2: the clips, there are 2 different styles in the kit, but the drivers rear (only one I've removed so far) only had the 1 style of clip on it (smaller style)
I've looked at both the S4 & S5 FSM, and they don't show which ones are which, or where the spring goes in the brake section (that I could see)
Help please? Thanks

For reference, these clips
After looking at them, I believe the larger clips go towards the caliper itself, it fits and makes sense to me and they won't bind. At least I have some time since I forgot to order new boots
Edit: i take that back, I'm betting they go towards the wheel, being as they have the spring steel that holds the pad in place, the pad won't move worth a crap when the piston pushes on it
