[QUOTE="DuffManRHA, post: 11914136, member: 42542"] I know what part you are talking about and no, there is no pin that attaches there at all, just that one pin on the bottom of the caliper itself. I posted this more on my thread in the 99/01 Cobra section, but if you are changing pads and your rotors aren't warped or gouged from letting the pads go to metal, don't get them turned just for that reason. Instead, use some 80 grit sandpaper or scotchbrite pad/wheel and hit the rotors in order to do things : the first is more important if you are changing pad brands/compounds, and that is to get the old material out, and the second is to "roughen up" the rotors to get them to bed in better and prevent glazing upon break-in of the pads. I did this with some 80 grit on my disc palm sander (not DA) and it worked great - just be sure to get garnet sandpaper or ceramic oxide and not aluminum oxide, in order to prevent taking off metal. I got all this info from various forums, as well as from Hawk Performance themselves; I didn't trust a guy making minimum wage to turn my rotors properly, and this was cheaper to boot. LMK if you'd like some pics [/QUOTE]
