    Caliper pin bolts

    I stupidly didn't note which of the caliper pin bolts goes to the top and which to the bottom. Can anyone tell me whether the pin with the rubber goes to the too or bottom?

    Thanks.

    I always forget too so I do one side at a time so I can refer to the other. The rubber should be the bottom pin.

    Don't forget to lightly grease the pins with silicone grease. Do not use regular mineral-oil based grease, because the tiny rubber ring will swell and thus prevent the pin from moving. You don't want dragging brakes.
