Hey all, , I just had a complete brain fart. I had taken my front brakes apart in a hurry a month ago, and just barely getting around to putting it back together. Does the guide pin with the round rubber bushing (not the boot) on the tip go into the top or bottom hole of the caliper bracket?

Took the brakes apart in a "hurry", then say, it's been a month still haven't reassembled...WTF man! I hope you don't charge by the hour!

That said, Never ever ever take apart the brakes on both sides before reassembling the first side. This is something we were taught especially with drum brakes, because all the levers and springs and adjustment rod...they all go in a little different from one car to the next, so you keep one side assembled while you start/finish the other side. Same holds true with disk brakes, just a lot easier. That said, why you take so long to do brakes!!!???

Brakes were just part of it, I did tie rods, links, bar bushings. In summary I got so depressed and angry with suspension and underbody issues on all three of my cars over the last year, and hated trying to work on these issues with limited clearance underneath the cars using only jackstands, that I just said "EFF it!" And decided to fix this car next year as part of my New Year resolutions.
