Problem installing new brake pads
I just put in new brake pads and rotors on my 95 and I accidentally broke one of those metal wires that fit into the pads. Is this a problem that I need to fix immediately or will that one little wire make that much of a difference?

If it's the 2 "wire springs" that fit on the edge of the pads, then it's not a big deal. A lot of aftermarket pads don't even have the holes drilled for them. It helps the pads "disengage" from the rotor...

If it is the anti-rattle wires (the only thing I'd describe as 'wire') don't worry about it. Nissan doesn't even include these in their brake hardware kits anymore because they were useless pieces of metal.
