One thing, when you compress the piston on the caliper, you need to make sure the two v-groves on the piston are aligned straight up and down. There is a nipple on the back of the brake pad that has to ride in that grove.
I’m just doing mine now and I noticed that as well , what will happen if the pin on the is not in the pad groove . The piston won’t turn out as the pads wear ?
In reply to the retainers I also just installed these brakes and wondered where those clips go .I know they weren't on when I removed the old brakes. Where do these smaller retainers go I can't find any video on it ?

Good stuff man thx for making this. One question what was the OEM tork spec for the caliper bolts, when you remounted the rear?
Those retainers are there to save your brakes life!
